This stunning photograph showcases a beautiful example of White Star Line's second-class flooring from the iconic RMS Olympic, taken from the ex-Haltwhistle Paint Factory. The image transports us back to the early 20th century, an era of opulence and luxury in ocean travel. The RMS Olympic, launched in 1911, was the first of the three Olympic-class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. Known for their grandeur and elegance, these ships set new standards for transatlantic travel. The second-class passengers onboard the RMS Olympic were treated to a level of comfort and sophistication that was unparalleled at the time. The linoleum floor tile in this photograph is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that went into creating the second-class accommodations. The white star design, synonymous with the White Star Line, is prominently featured, adding a touch of class and branding to the space. The intricate pattern and geometric design of the tiles add visual interest and texture, creating a sense of luxury and refinement. The tiles were sourced from the Haltwhistle Paint Factory, which supplied the White Star Line with a variety of materials for their ships. The tiles were likely produced using a technique called "potato printing," which involved pressing a design into the linoleum before cutting it out and laying it down on the floor. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of ocean travel and the importance of design in creating a luxurious and memorable experience for passengers. The intricate floor tiles, like those seen here, were just one of the many ways that the White Star Line set itself apart from its competitors and made transatlantic voyages an unforgettable experience.
