No meio da viagem, o navio atingiu um iceberg e afundou no início da manhã de 15 de abril de 1912, resultando na morte de mais de 1.500 pessoas, incluindo aproximadamente 815 passageiros.Os passageiros do Titanic estavam divididos em três classes separadas, determinado não só pelo preço de seu bilhete, mas pela riqueza e classe social: os que viajavam em primeira classe, a maioria deles os passageiros mais ricos a bordo, incluíam membros proeminentes da classe alta, empresários, políticos, militares de alto escalão, industriais, banqueiros, artistas, socialites e atletas profissionais. Os passageiros da segunda classe eram viajantes da classe média e incluíam professores, autores, clérigos e turistas. Os passageiros da terceira classe eram principalmente imigrantes se mudando para os Estados Unidos e Canadá.

Olana State Historic Site

Greenport, Columbia County, New York / Estados Unidos

Olana State Historic Site is a historic house museum and property in Greenport, New York, near the city of Hudson. The estate was home to Frederic Edwin Church , one of the major figures in the Hudson River School of landscape painting. The centerpiece of Olana is an eclectic villa which overlooks parkland and a working farm designed by the artist. The residence has a wide view of the Hudson River Valley, the Catskill Mountains and the Taconic Range. Church and his wife Isabel named their estate after a fortress-treasure house in ancient Greater Persia , which also overlooked a river valley.Olana is one of the few intact artists' home-, studio- and estate-complexes in the United States; it was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965. The house is also a prime example of Orientalist architecture. It is owned and operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and is also supported by The Olana Partnership, a non-profit 501 organization. The main building is an architectural masterpiece designed by the architect Calvert Vaux working closely with Church. The stone, brick, and polychrome-stenciled villa is a mixture of Victorian, Persian and Moorish styles. The interior remains much as it was during Church's lifetime, exotically furnished and decorated with objects from his global travels, and with some 40 paintings by Church and his friends. The house is intricately stenciled inside and out; Church designed the stencils based on his travels in the Middle East. The house contains Church's last studio, built as an addition from 1888 to 1890.
