The Linen Rooms were a crew-only space on Titanic located on F Deck. There were three drying rooms for the clean linen which had been boiled: a larger one towards the back of the facility and two just adjacent of the fan room. There was also a small storage area for the boiled, but undried linen, as well as a larger one for the boiling process. There were two cupboards where linen was stored, as well as a napkin cupboard just in the main drying room. There was also a room for soiled linen which was unwashed. Finally, off the Turkish Bath attendants' accommodation was the ironing (clothes pressing) room. This area was located on the port side of the ship adjacent to the boiler room 5 casing and just forward of some crew cabins, and port of the Turkish Baths.

The linen rooms in S.O.S. Titanic (1979)
A corridor in Adventure Out Of Time which might look similar to one in the linen rooms.
This area remained dry since the watertight doors along the bulkhead were shut, which flooded the crew cabins, F Deck landing of the staircase, and the Turkish Bath complex. This area didn't flood until around 12:30 A.M. when water began flooding the Crew Alleyway and flowed down the stairs (staircase adjacent to No. 5 & 6 boiler casing), which flooded the linen rooms and subsequently, the Swimming Bath.

S.O.S. Titanic (1979)[]
The linen rooms appeared in this film when Mary Sloan and Thomas Andrews were talking together. The overall deck plan is not that inaccurate, apart from the fact that there are sets of portholes on two walls going into a corner. The only spaces this would be possible were C-Deck and above that.
