A-Deck, also called the Promenade Deck, extended along the entire 546 feet (166 m) length of the superstructure and was the second of ten decks on the RMS Titanic. It had an enclosed Promenade, differentiating her from her sister, RMS Olympic. The designers learnt from the experiences with Olympic that the rough seas sometimes even made the passengers wet as far up as A-Deck, from the bow's spray when there was heavy wind. This led them to make 40 enclosed windows for Titanic on the forward part.
The Promenade was enclosed until it reached mid ships where it was opened. It was reserved exclusively for First Class passengers and contained Luxury State Rooms and some of the legendary luxurious First Class cabins and other areas listed below. It was one of the last decks to flood, not starting to flood until at around 1:50 A.M.
On the HMHS Britannic, 8 more cabins were featured on the port side. They were labelled cabin A-36 to A-44. Violet Constance Jessop was in A-42 when that ship sank.
