St. John's inn boasts links to Titanic (Saskatchewan News Network)

From The Saskatchewan News Network through canada.com:

by Peter Wilson

Tradition has it that the staircase and wood panelling in Ryan Mansion in St. John's Newfoundland was constructed by the same craftsmen who built the grand staircase in the ill-fated Titanic.

Owners of the upscale St. John's hostelry, Robert Hall and Kevin Nolan, say that evidence their staircase and the ship's staircase originated out of the same workshops, while circumstantial, is compelling.
