EDITORS COMMENTS
Tea Time on the Berengaria: A Moment of Palatial Luxury Amidst the Perilous Seas The image before you captures a serene moment of relaxation aboard the magnificent RMS Berengaria during a transatlantic voyage in the roaring twenties. The lounge, bathed in soft, natural light filtering through the large windows, offers a land-like stability amidst the ever-changing seascape outside. The calm interior, adorned with plush armchairs, elegant tables, and ornate decor, transports passengers to a world of refined comfort and luxury. As the ship sways gently on the foamy waves, passengers take a break from their oceanic adventure to enjoy a quintessential British tradition: afternoon tea. Delicate teacups and saucers, adorned with intricate designs, rest atop the polished tables, ready to be filled with steaming brews. The aroma of freshly baked scones, cakes, and sandwiches wafts through the room, tantalizing the senses and adding to the indulgent atmosphere. The lounge of the Berengaria, with its palatial surroundings and ever-changing outlook, is a testament to the opulence and sophistication of ocean travel during the 1920s. This illustration, created by C. E. Turner for the Illustrated London News in 1922, offers a glimpse into the luxurious world of transatlantic liners and the unforgettable experiences they provided for their passengers.
