The Titanic
The Titanic's four electric lifts were one of
the new features that made the Titanic
special.
Designed for use by first and second class
passengers only,
they each had their own lift attendant.
None of the four lift attendants survived.
First Class Lift
Return to Ship
The first class staterooms were luxuriously
furnished with curtained beds and
tables and chairs.
The most expensive even had
their own private balcony.
First Class Staterooms
Return to Ship
The Titanic's officer quarters were located just below the boat deck so that they could quickly
reach the bridge in case of emergency.
Captain Smith retired to the officers' quarters about an hour before the ship hit the iceberg.
Officers' Quarters
Return to Ship
The two first class staircases were
very grand indeed.
Over the top of both were glass domes which
allowed sunlight to pass through.
First Class Grand Staircase
Return to Ship
The Bridge was the place where the ship was
operated from.
There was always a senior officer on the
bridge and it was first officer Murdock who
ordered
the Titanic 'hard a starboard' when the iceberg
was spotted.
The Bridge
Return to Ship
The Titanic's gymnasium had all the
latest exercise
equipment - a bicycle, rowing machine
and electric horse.
Separate sessions were available
for men, women and children.

Return to Ship
The Crow's nest was used by the ship's lookouts.
It was from here, at 11.40 pm on April 15 1912,
that lookouts Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee
first spotted the iceberg that caused the Titanic to sink.
The Crow's Nest
Return to Ship
The two wireless operators, Harold Bride
and John Philips were employed to send
telegrams on behalf of the passengers.
They also received and sent messages
to other ships. It was here that the
messages warning of icebergs were
received on the afternoon of 14th April
1912 and the SOS messages were sent
when it was realised that the Titanic
would sink.

Food for both first and second class passengers was prepared in the same galley. There was a large ice-cream maker as well
as refrigerated rooms for storing meat and perishable
goods.
First and Second Class Galley
The First Class smoking room was open for most of the day. Passengers could
purchase the most luxurious cigarettes and
tobacco here.

Return to Ship
Second class staterooms
were occupied by up to four
people. By the standards of
the day they were luxurious
with mahogany furniture and
linoleum floors.
Second Class Staterooms
Return to Ship
This was a lifting device to enable large objects to be
lifted onto ships. In the film Titanic, a cargo crane is seen lifting crates and a car onto
the ship.
Cargo Crane
Return to Ship
This was one of
the leisure rooms
provided for the
use of third class
passengers.
Third Class Smoking Room
Return to Ship
This cafe was
designed to look like a
Paris street cafe and
the waiters were
French.
Cafe Parisien
Return to Ship
Return to Ship
In order to ensure that food served at tables was as fresh as possible, the Titanic was fitted
with a refrigerated storage area. There were different areas for meat, cheese, flowers and wines
and champagne.
Refrigerated Cargo
The Titanic's A La Carte (anything from the menu)
restaurant served the finest food. Passengers could
reserve tables and book areas for private parties.
A la Carte Restaurant
Return to Ship
Return to Ship
This large, pleasantly furnished
room was where second class
passengers took their meals.
Food served to second class
passengers was cooked in the
first class kitchen.
Second Class Dining Room
Return to Ship
This was where the third
class passengers took their
meals. It was said to be like
second class dining rooms
on other ships.
Third Class Dining Room
Return to Ship
First class passengers met in the first class reception
room. They would often enjoy a cocktail together before going into dinner.
First Class Reception Room
Return to Ship
The Titanic's turkish
baths was one of the
most luxurious to be
found in Europe.
Turkish Baths
Return to Ship
The Titanic was on of the first
ships to have a swimming
pool on board. It was filled
with sea water which was
heated by the boilers. There
were separate times for men
and women.
Swimming Pool
Return to Ship
As part of it's recreational facilities for passengers, the
Titanic had a full-size squash court. Because the squash court was
located just below the bridge but above the watertight
compartments, it was used by the ship's officers to monitor the rise
of the water.
Squash Court
Return to Ship
The Titanic had a fully equipped post office staffed
by five mail clerks. Over three thousand mail bags
were lost when the ship sank and over 7 million items of mail never reached their
destination.
The Post Office
Return to Ship
Passengers' cargo was loaded into the cargo room by crane. Among the items lost when the
Titanic sank were:
A Renault 35hp car A Marmalade machine
50 cases of toothpaste 5 grand pianos
Four cases of opium A jewelled copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam
Cargo Room
Return to Ship
Third Class berths on the
Titanic were used by up to
eight people. As you can see
in the picture above, they
slept in bunks and used a
communal sink.
Third Class Berths
Return to Ship
This was the passage between the boilers that was used by the firemen. In the film, Rose and
Jack run through the fireman's passage to the cargo room. However, on the Titanic the
fireman's passage was on the deck below the cargo room.
Fireman's Passage
Return to Ship
The Titanic had a crew of about 890 men and women of whom only 212 were saved. The crew's quarters were
located at the rear of the ship on decks D, E and F.
