Talk:Lawrence Beesley

Beesley?
Do we know the provenance of this photo? It is unlikely that the man pictured is Beesley as he was a 2nd class passenger and the gymnasium was part of the 1st class accommodations. I checked the source page and am concerned about its reliability. Several of the other images shown are definitely not from the Titanic but rather are of her sister ship RMS Olympic. There are very few interior photos of the Titanic and it is not at all uncommon for images of the Olympic to be passed off as Titanic. Probably the most common being images of the grand staircase. There are no known photographs of Titanic's 1st class staircase. Olympic's however, was more or less identical and so is often substituted and mislabeled, often in ignorance. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:00, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
