The Olympic’s Grand Staircase with a clock, the same as aboard the Titanic. In the film by James Cameron the staircase was shown in every detail. This is where one of the most remarkable scenes, the meeting of the main characters played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet took place.

French café Parisien. The wicker furniture gave the café an exquisite look. The café was near the promenade deck, which let daylight in. For this reason, many of the first-class passengers enjoyed having breakfast there.
A hall with a fireplace in a deluxe stateroom, one of the best and most expensive rooms on the Titanic. Besides other conveniences, such rooms had safes where passengers could keep their valuables. Reportedly, when the Titanic started sinking, attendants began robbing the safes. This version is supported by the fact that some of the safes were found empty on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Another first-class stateroom on board the Titanic. Most of the rooms had a unique design and were created in different styles. To enjoy traveling in first class, passengers paid tens of thousands of dollars, which is a lot even in today’s money.
Reading room. The Titanic’s chief designer Thomas Andrews was last seen in one of the reading rooms. When it became clear that the ship would inevitably sink, a housemaid offered Andrews a life jacket, which he refused.
The photo causes a lot of debate among experts. Some claim it was made aboard the Titanic, others think it is the Grand Staircase of the Olympic, the Titanic’s sister ship. The Olympic and the Titanic were called “twin ships” as they were nearly identical and had similar interiors.
The First Class Lounge aboard the RMS Olympic. Unlike its sister ship, the Olympic did not have a tragic life. It served as a troopship during World War I. In the 1930s, the Olympic was scrapped, and the interior décor elements auctioned off.
