F Deck

Titanic's F Deck was called the "middle deck." It ran the whole length of the ship, at about 846 feet from the prow to the stern, and only had a ceiling height of eight and a half feet. The forward first class staircase, the Grand Staircase, ended at the deck at a landing that branched off to the Turkish, electric, and swimming baths for first class. The two main staircases for second class had landings on this deck, with the forward staircase ending here as well. All cabins and berths forawrd were for single third class men travelling alone, while aft there were cabins for third class families and single women. Second class passengers had many of their cabins on this deck as well, with some of these cabins being able to be switched between second and third class, depending on higher traffic. The third class dining saloon is on this deck, seperated by one of the watertight bulkheads. On the morning of April 15th, 1912, water started flooding the third class dining room at around 02:05
