Speed and Style

The largest remaining panel fragment from the first class lounge of the Titanic will return to the UK for the first time since the ship sailed from Southampton in 1912 for a major exhibition on the history of ocean liners.

It is one of more than 250 objects including paintings, sculptures and ship models which will go on display in London next year at the Victoria and Albert Museum's Ocean Liners: Speed And Style exhibition.

Exhibition curator Ghislaine Wood said: "What is remarkable about this panel is it shows where the ship actually split in two. The panel was at the point where the split was, so it broke off and rose to the surface while the ship sank under the waves."

Is anyone here planning on going to the V&A for this one? should be great. Speed and Style will run at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, from February 3 to June 10 next year.
