I thought some of you might appreciate seeing one of my favorite White Star Line artifacts.

This is a 12-inch section of the decorative ceiling cornice from the First Class Smoking Room aboard RMS Olympic. According to the certificate of authenticity, it was removed during Olympic’s scrapping and later installed in the former Crown Paints (originally White Star Line) building at Haltwhistle, Northumberland during the 1930s. It was salvaged again in 2021 when that building was demolished.

It’s one of the pieces in my collection that most directly connects to the craftsmanship of Harland & Wolff and the White Star Line.

This is a drawing that I recently completed of the White Star liner RMS Oceanic. Due to a real lack of time in my personal life it took around 1 year to complete. This was drawn with pen and ink. My next plan is to draw the MV Britannic (the 1930's one), then maybe finally Titanic. I want to try and draw the Titanic sinking, but just need to figure how to make that look good in pen and ink. Sorry that this photo is very blue.
