EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and sophistication of the "Modern" bedroom suite in cabin C69 aboard the RMS Olympic, a masterpiece of maritime engineering and design. The Olympic, built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast and launched in 1911, was the largest ship in the world at the time and a flagship of the White Star Line, also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company. This bedroom suite, commissioned by the White Star Line and photographed by Bedford Lemere and Company at Southampton docks around 1920-21, offers a glimpse into the luxurious accommodations that passengers could expect on transatlantic voyages during the Golden Age of Ocean Liners. The suite's understated yet elegant design is evident in the crisp white bed linens, the richly textured upholstery, and the polished wood furnishings. The room's large windows offer breathtaking views of the ocean, adding to the sense of spaciousness and comfort. The suite's classic style, with its timeless appeal, continues to inspire and captivate us today. The Olympic was the sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic, making this photograph an important historical artifact. The tragic sinking of the Titanic in 1912 brought about significant changes in maritime safety regulations, and the Olympic, with its advanced safety features, represented a new era in ocean liner design. This photograph serves as a reminder of the grandeur and innovation of the White Star Line and the golden age of ocean travel.
