Part 5/8:
Despite logistical limitations, third-class passengers had access to a variety of amenities. The general room provided a communal space for gatherings with live music, dances, and games, while the third-class smoking room offered comfort and camaraderie among men. Additionally, the poop deck served as an outdoor space for fresh air and views of the ocean.
Dining was a significant part of the journey, with meals served in two dining rooms on F deck. Encouraged to socialize, passengers dined together at communal tables and enjoyed an impressive menu that changed daily. The third class experienced meals that included breakfast, dinner, tea, and supper, each featuring wholesome and filling options designed to provide comfort during their journey.
