EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken by Bedford Lemere and Company, we step back in time to the golden age of ocean liner travel and enter the cozy confines of a 2nd class two-berth cabin on the RMS Olympic. The Olympic, a proud vessel of the White Star Line, or the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company as it was also known, was the sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic. This image, part of the Historic England Archive, was likely captured at the Southampton docks prior to the Olympic's maiden voyage in 1920 or 1921. The cabin, with its warm, honey-toned wooden walls and plush, red upholstered berths, exudes an inviting and comforting ambiance. The presence of a small table and two comfortable chairs adds to the sense of homeliness, creating an intimate space where passengers could relax and unwind during their transatlantic journey. The cabin's porthole, framed by a delicate curtain, offers a glimpse of the vast, open sea beyond, a constant reminder of the adventure that awaited outside. The RMS Olympic, a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the early 20th century, was a marvel of engineering and design. With its elegant lines, spacious accommodations, and luxurious amenities, it set a new standard for ocean liner travel and paved the way for a new era of transatlantic voyages. This photograph, with its intriguing glimpse into the past, invites us to imagine the stories of the passengers who once called this cabin their temporary home, as they embarked on their own adventures across the Atlantic.
