First Class Staterooms The first class staterooms were luxuriously furnished with curtained beds and tables and chairs. The most expensive even had their own private balcony. Return to Ship

Officers' Quarters 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. Return to Ship

First Class Grand Staircase The two first class staircases were very grand indeed. Over the top of both were glass domes which allowed sunlight to pass through. Return to Ship

Squash Court As part of its 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. Return to Ship

The Post Office 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. Return to Ship
