Tandem / Bibby staterooms on P&O ships c. 1903
Has anyone researched specifically the development of tandem/Bibby staterooms in any detail?
I have a reference from 1903 concerning the arrangement used by the White Star and Bibby Lines as being better than what P&O had used in their newest ships. However I'm not sure how they differed or which ships from each line were being used as contrasts/examples.
Does anyone have example deck plans of the arrangements on P&O ships of this period that they might be willing to share, please?
Many thanks,
Mark.

Cunard Dining Room Chair Number plate
Does anyone currently possess or have access to images of the numbered oval-shaped brass plates that were originally mounted on dining chairs? I have included a photograph showing the typical placement of these plates for reference.

Britannics engines being installed. Is this a real legit photo ?

Just seen this on Instagram
Pretending it s a photo. We all agree this is a massive fake? It is an influencer and historian on the Olympic class who published it.

What's everybody reading these days? Looking for new book recs...
Hi fellow ocean liner nerds,
It's been a while since I've read an ocean liner book, so I am looking for some newer books. I searched through previous posts and didn't find much. So what is everyone currently reading?
Being a lifelong ocean liner enthusiast I am really wanting to get back into one of my favorite historical topics. Any new recs --let's say something no more than 5 years old-- are much appreciated!

Is there a cool fact about an oceanliner that you know about?
Say s.s. Normandie or S.S. Rex is there a cool unknown fact that you know about them or any other ship?

Another rave at the Queen Mary!
If it keeps her alive then I'm more than welcome. I just don't want her to end up like the SS United States 😢
