EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the elegance and grandeur of The B Saloon onboard the RMS Olympic, a White Star Line vessel and sister ship to the ill-fated Titanic and Britannic. The image, taken by the renowned Bedford Lemere and Company, was likely captured at the Southampton docks during the ship's service between 1920 and 1921. The B Saloon, located on the promenade deck, was a first-class lounge area designed to provide passengers with a luxurious and comfortable atmosphere during their transatlantic journey. The room was adorned with rich furnishings, ornate decorations, and large windows that offered breathtaking views of the ocean. The White Star Line, also known as the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, was renowned for its opulent ships and exceptional service. The RMS Olympic, launched in 1911, was the largest and most luxurious ship in the world at the time, setting a new standard for ocean travel. Despite being overshadowed by the tragic sinking of its sister ship, the Titanic, in 1912, the Olympic continued to provide passengers with a memorable and enjoyable experience. This photograph serves as a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the luxurious world of ocean travel during the early 20th century. The intricate details of the B Saloon, from the ornate decorations to the elegant furnishings, are beautifully captured in this historic image. The photograph is now held in the Historic England Archive, a testament to the enduring legacy of the White Star Line and the RMS Olympic.
