On April 10th 1912, the largest ship buoyant left Southampton, England on her voyage to New York. The Titanic was pure luxury with its grand staircase to accompany the center of the ship. Made from polished oak, wrought iron and a variety of boutique glass. The centerpiece of the grand staircase was a large carved panel containing a clock. The Titanic was sheer luxury and was larger than any ship at that time. There was 1st, 2nd, and 3rd class. Unfortunately, this played a large role in the number of people that died. Most people on the 3rd class level died, whereas the majority of people on 1st class survived because they were at the top of the ship. Passenger housing and public areas were located on the Bridge, Shelter, Saloon, Promenade,

The ones who built the ship under estimated the catastrophic seas of the Atlantic Ocean. The Bridge Deck stretched 550 feet, the complete length of the structure of the ship. The length was interrupted by the Forecastle (106 feet long) and the Poop Decks (128 feet long) (Not an actual place to poop.) The Titanic had new designs, and things that were entirely new inventions. These include a swimming pool, Turkish Baths, Squash courts, and a gym. In fact, while the Titanic was sinking, in the First Class Gym, Passenger Richard Norris peddled a stationary bicycle to keep warm along with some other passengers. He survived on board a collapsible lifeboat and went to have a successful tennis career. The First Class Passengers had access to the Titanic’s state-of-the-art gymnasium, which was located on the Boat deck. The gym included the usual dumbbells, rowing machines, and so on, as well as a mechanical horse and mechanical camel. The cost to use this gym was one shilling (about 25 cents). The First Class travel on the Titanic included a dining saloon, reception room, restaurant, lounge, reading and writing room, smoking room, and the veranda cafes and palm …show more content…
Third Class Travel on the Titanic included smoking room, general room, dining room, and bunk beds for rest. The Third Class was considered still quite a luxury compared to normal life, but nothing compared to First Class. The Crew, specifically the engine room staff were housed on the starboard side at the forward end of the ship on the Lower, Middle, Upper and Saloon Decks.
A century has sailed by since the luxury steamship RMS Titanic met its catastrophic end in the North Atlantic, sinking two miles to the ocean floor after sideswiping an iceberg during its maiden voyage. Rather than the intended Port of New York, a deep-sea grave became the pride of the White Star Line’s final destination in the early hours of April 15, 1912. More than 1,500 people lost their lives in the disaster. In the decades since her demise, Titanic has inspired countless books and several notable films while continuing to make headlines, particularly since the 1985 discovery of her resting place off the coast of Newfoundland. Meanwhile, her story has entered the public consciousness as a powerful cautionary tale about the perils of human hubris. That encounter took place roughly four days out, at about
