In the film, the Grand Staircase with its beautiful clock became, not only an iconic symbol of the vessel, but a deeply romantic symbol at that. Construction drawings show "XNN Class Main Stairway."Ĭertainly, it cannot be denied that James Cameron’s epic film Titanic has made the Grand Staircase even more famous. The term "grand staircase" was not an official designation used by Harland and Wolff, or the White Star Line. It is believed that the ship builder, Harland and Wolff, saw no reason to photograph the Titanic's interiors since they had already gone through this expense for her virtual twin, the RMS Olympic. Actually these photos were all taken of the Olympic.no known photos from the Titanic's Grand Staircase exist.
Perhaps this is because the fore staircase was grander as evidenced in the often reproduced photo shown at the top of our page. However, it is the fore grand staircase that is the most famous. There were actually two grand staircases constructed on the RMS Titanic and her sister ship, the RMS Olympic, and both were in the first-class section.
