Grand Saloon of the "Atlantic", 1850. The Atlantic arrived at Liverpool...the first of six similar vessels to be built for E. K. Collins, Esq. of New York, to carry the United States mails between New York and Liverpool...the carpets are of the richest description; the table-slabs are of Brocatelli marble. The stained glass ventilators are let down into the saloon from the deck, in the form of chimneys, and protected by a lattice-work of brass. These ventilators are so constructed that they serve the double purpose of admitting the light and air. They are covered on the top with crowns of clear, transparent glass, to let down the light and keep out the rain; while immediately underneath there are all around apertures which can be opened or closed at pleasure, to admit the air. When they are illuminated at night, with lamps suspended inside, the effect is very brilliant indeed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
