D Deck

D Deck, or Saloon Deck, is 10-11 meters above sea level and is the deck between C Deck and E Deck.

Three important places were built here. First you have the Third Class Open Space in the front, just before the bow, at the height of the officers quarter, but then many Decks below. D Deck is the middle deck, where you could find another small area with first class state rooms, hardly less luxury than those on C Deck.

The Open Space was much used to come together and play music, play cards, drink beers and dance on tables and moving around poles, by the steerage people. That was a party for them. The first class cabins where just behind the open space and strictly separated by a bulkhead.

Further there was a large dining saloon, with British meals for the rich. This was what they called a party, just dining and talking about business, gossips. There was also a smaller, but still roomy Second Class Dining Saloon, more near the middle. On starboard were many hospital rooms, at same length but on the port side were a butcher and baker shop.
