A beautiful tragedy… in April of 1912 The Titanic sunk in the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Nobody knew it was going to be some of their last nights with their loved ones, or the last night they would enjoy the company of an acquaintance they may have come across on their trip on the fateful Titanic. “Not Even God himself Could Sink this Ship” says an Employee of the White Star Line. Passengers and crew members, music, and art work all went down and were forever lost that sad, unfortunate night The Titanic sank.
There were 2228 people on board of the Titanic, 337 in first class, 285 second class, 721 in third class (“Statistical”). Men woman and children lost their lives that day. The majority of the children were saved if they were in …show more content…

Though there are many rooms that were works of art in themselves, the grand staircase was, and is still the most popular today. The Grand Staircase was over 60 feet from the lower landing to the glass skyline above. It had a seventeenth century William and Mary style with solid oak carved paneling running all the way around. At the foot of the stairs was a Cherub light with a very distinctive wood carving clock behind, which although quite decayed in the wreck, is still visible today (Inside).
There was also a “smoking room” on The Titanic, towards the back of the Promenade Deck, which also had art in the walls itself. The walls of the first class Smoking Room were paneled in mahogany carved in the Georgian style and were inlaid with mother of pearl (Inside). The room was not only intended for smoking but also any individual who desired an after dinner drink would also go to the room and enjoy a glass of their preferred drink at their well-stocked bar. Some of the walls had stain glass art of other ports and White Star Line ships. One painting that seemed to be admired in the room was one named “Approach to the New World" By Norman Wilkinson
