These past few days have brought a plethora of coverage surrounding the S.S. White Star Titanic that sank 100 years ago after a collision with an iceberg off the coast of Newfoundland. I see the blow by blow of the sinking. I see endless shots of the ship's skeleton beneath the deep water. But, one thing that I haven't seen alot of is the interior of the ship. The design, the details, the absolute grandeur and epic beauty of the spaces inside the Titanic. Here are a few shots of several spaces that I found thumbing around some other historical blogs and sites. Some of the pictures eerily look like they had been taken just yesterday.
The iconic Grand Staircase...emptied into lounge adjacent to dining room
The Cafe Parisien...authentic French menu and music
Gymnasium...a bit primitive, also included a spa
First class lounge...gathering place before formal meals
Smokeroom...a retreat for the gentlemen aboard
The Veranda...for afternoon tea...a favorite of Mollie Brown
