SS United States: the ballroom
RIBA99595
NOTES: This photograph comes from an album of press-cuttings of the works of Brian O'Rorke (the Brian O'Rorke papers), mainly featuring his interior decoration of the liners Orion, Orcades, Oronsay and Orsova for the Orient Line, amongst others. This is an image of the ballroom from the SS United States. The ocean liner was designed by the naval architect William Francis Gibbs and launched in 1952. The interior design was by Dorothy Marckwald in contemporary style, more commonly referred to as mid-century modern. Dorothy Marckwald along with Anne Urquhart were part of the firm Smyth, Urquhard and Marckwald, the only women-led maritime interior design company in the world at that time.
