TITANIC INTERIOR
http://mredfootballatfault.blogspot.ca/
The interior of the R.M.S. Titanic was lavish. It offered every luxury that could be enjoyed in 1912. After the mechanics of the ship, the interior was the most detailed. Hand carved oak, teak and maple woodwork was everywhere. Only the most lavish furniture was used. The bathrooms were finished in the most modern style of the times complete with showers, bath tubs and double sinks. There was even flushing toilets on board the ship. Huge dinning rooms sat several hundred and after a good meal passengers could retire to one of the several smoking lounges for drinks and cards. There was a complete, up-to-date gymnasium for workouts and even a regulation sized indoor swimming pool. There were clothing shops, a barbershop and a beauty salon. Racketball courses were on deck along with areas for other games. The Titanic was the most luxurious ocean liner ever built at the time. The following are photos taken of the ship's interior right after it was built and shortly before it sailed. Also, there are photos of passengers enjoying the ship not knowing that, for many, this would be the last event of their lives.
NOTE: We have passenger Frank Browne to thank for many of the pictures taken here of rooms in the Titanic that show people using them.1st Class Bathroom Sink

3rd Class, or Steerage passengers enjoyed a bit of luxury as well. Not as nice as 1st or 2nd Class, but, in most cases, much nicer than they were used too.Other Private & Crew areas of the Ship ~
Areas that were "Off Limits" to most passengers. Also Crew areas and the inner workings of the Titanic.Main Generator in Engine Room
