Titanic's Cargo Holds were used to storage baggage of passengers. There were six cargo holds, however, 4 of these holds were used to store passenger's cargo and general cargo. Cargo Holds 1,2,3, and 6 were used for passenger or general cargo. Three of these cargo holds were located in the bow, while one cargo hold was located in the stern
Some of the cargo was quite unusual. These are some items found on the manifest:
- The Renault of William Carter
- A copy of the Rubaiyat, encrusted with jewels
- Shelled walnuts (300 cases) for the first national bank of Chicago
