Titanic’s 3rd class dining saloon

The 3rd class dining saloon was located on F deck and was divided in two by a watertight bulkhead. Seating was at the customary long table each accommodating up to 20 people. Both rooms together had a capacity of 473, with a provision for two sittings if third-class were heavily booked. The room was bare and decorated in enamelled white and brightened by sidelights. There was no cloakroom instead third-class passengers simply hung their own coats on the dozens of hooks spaced around the room. freshly baked bread and fruit was available at every meal. In many instances, this was the best food the emigrant passenger had ever had.
