Dorothy Marckwald
Dorothy “Dot” Marckwald (1898-1986) was a prominent American interior designer in the mid-20th century whose works consisted mainly of luxury ocean liners. Her most important works were the SS America and the SS United States, which was the fastest passenger liner of all time. She worked closely with William Francis Gibbs, one of America’s most renowned and legendary naval architects, and her own firm Smyth, Urquhart, & Marckwald, the only firm run by women to decorate the interior of such ships. The interiors of the SS United States were especially innovative because of the use of entirely flame-retardant materials. In total, Marckwald completed the interiors of thirty-one ships, and revolutionized luxury ocean liner design along the way.
== Beginnings ==
Dorothy Marckwald graduated from the Packer Collegiate Institute in Brooklyn, New York in 1916. She was a tall, attractive woman who walked with grace and confidence, and was determined to succeed in any aspect of her life. After graduating from the Packer Institute, she studied Interior Design at the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts, now known as the Parsons School of Design.
Marckwald’s career began in 1920 when she was hired by Elsie Cobb Wilson, an extremely influential interior designer of the early 20th century, as an assistant designer for her firm. She started out by designing high-end homes, hotels, country clubs, offices, ranches and yachts in Washington D.C. and New York. In 1930, Marckwald was assigned to head the interior decoration of the Grace Line’s four new 9,000-ton South American ocean liners, the Santa Elena, Santa Lucia, Santa Paula, and Santa Rosa, which proved to be a turning point in her career. Together with Anne Urquhart and William Francis Gibbs, whom Marckwald grants her success to and considers a mentor, she completed the luxurious country club-styled interiors of the four ships to much praise. This popularity led Wilson to add Marckwald and Urquhart as full-fledged partners in 1933, changing the firm name to Elsie Cobb Wilson and Company. With Wilson’s retirement in 1937 and the addition of former colleague Miriam Smyth, the firm of Smyth, Urquhart & Marckwald was formed.
