The Grand Staircase before and after the sinking of the RMS Titanic. This photograph was captured aboard the RMS Olympic, the sister ship of the Titanic. Although no authentic photograph of the Grand Staircase on the Titanic is available, historical records indicate that the designs of both ships' staircases were remarkably similar. Remarkably, during the sinking of the Titanic, the staircase was completely dislodged, creating a substantial opening that facilitated the submersible's movement between decks within the ship. Presently, this space remains as a significant void, rendering it accessible for exploration. Provided below is an excerpt from the White Star Line publicity brochure (1911) that vividly portrays the Grand Staircase: "We leave the deck and pass through one of the doors which admit us to the interior of the vessel, and, as if by magic, we at once lose feeling that we are on board a ship, and seem instead to be entering the hall of some great house on shore. Dignified and simple oak panelling covers the walls, enriched in a few places by a bit of elaborate carved work. In the middle of the hall rises a gracefully curving staircase, its balustrade supported by light scrollwork of iron with occasional touches of bronze, in the form of flowers and foliage. Above all, a great dome of iron and glass throws a flood of light down the stairway, and on the landing beneath it, a great carved panel gives its note of richness to the otherwise plain and massive construction of the wall. The panel contains a clock, on either side of which is a female figure, the whole symbolizing Honour and Glory crowning Time. Looking over the balustrade, we see the stairs descending to many floors below, and on turning aside, we find we may be spared the labor of mounting or descending by entering one of the smoothly-gliding elevators which bear us quickly to any other of the numerous floors of the ship we may wish to visit. The staircase is one of the principal features of the ship, and will be greatly admired as being, without doubt, the finest piece of workmanship of its kind afloat."
