    Overview of photos taken by Titanic's passengers

    In another thread the total number of known photos taken of the Titanic was mentioned (363). I wanted to know how many of those photos were taken by passengers aboard Titanic or - before embarking/ after disembarking - the ship. As far as I know only Frank Browne and Kate Odell – both first...

    Olympic interior refits

    I know about what was changed and added to the ship but I just want to know something. I’m looking forward for descriptions of the designs of each room (1st, 2nd, Tourist-Third/Tourist & 3rd.) I'm also looking for some pictures of the new interiors. Specifically the interiors of the: 2nd Class...

    Architectural styles of 1st and 2nd class spaces

    Recently, I've become interested in the use of different "styles" to convey different atmospheres within the upper-class spaces of the RMS Titanic. However, it's difficult finding reliable sources on which style each room conveyed. and even more so information on the styles themselves. Are...

    RMS Olympic silver platter

    I recently won this at auction from the Olympic and thought you would all enjoy seeing it. My mom, who is pretty good at antiques, told me that it used to be for ice to hold and you put oysters or shrimp on top. I just love the clawed feet

    Cordoning off first class in E deck

    With regards to condoning off the E deck grand staircase landing, elevators and the first class four berth cabins, I can see the dashes on the deck plans to show where this would occur. But how exactly would these areas be cordoned off to separate second class? Would this have been by use of...

    What Did Titanic's Grand Staircase Actually look like?

    I know this is probably a rather difficult topic to answer, as there are no known photos of Titanic's forward Grand Staircase, but from some of my research it seems that there were some substantial differences between Olympic and Titanic's grand staircase designs. From what I've read online the...

    Hats at Dinner

    Hello all! I am curious about dinner attire. From my understanding, it was customary for men to wear hats and gloves most of the time during this period, removing gloves to eat. Would most of the men at dinner in First Class be wearing hats? In the scene in Titanic (1997), there isn't a hat in...

    First class A deck forward cabin corridors concealed behind doors

    Here is my first ever post...after ten years of reading these wonderful forums! My question is: from the deck plans, if we look at the very first two corridors of the forward first class cabins on A deck (both port and starboard directly after the baized doors entrances), they are concealed...

    A Woman of Temperament by Lucy Duff Gordon

    So...I remember on the other forum there was a discussion about how hard it was to get hold of Lucile's (Lady Duff Gordon's) memoirs and how expensive they are if you do. No more! As of the beginning of April you'll be able to buy them in print or as an e-book (links will go up soon) at a...
