The story behind the motif
The Irish shipyard workers at Titanic's rudder during its construction in 1911 in Belfast. A year later on April 10, 1912 Titanic left Southampton in England for her first and only voyage towards New York. The collision with the iceberg happened only 5 days later there officially 1,514 people died.
Titanic's construction was a major engineering challenge for the shipyard because of its enormous size. The ship was built to surpass anything previously built in shipping in terms of luxury and opulence. Innovations on board included a saltwater pool, a gym, a squash court and a Turkish bath. In the Turkish bath you could take an electric bath (early form of solarium), steam bath, get a massage and enjoy in a hot and a cold room.
Photographer: Robert John Welch (Harland & Wolff) | Created: 1911.
