First Class Lounge

From Titanic

The Titanic's First Class Lounge was located on A Deck.

The lounge had beautiful stained glass windows, and an extravagant fireplace. It could be entered by 2 doors 1 forward, and 1 aft. the lounge was decorated in Louis V style. The room was lit by wall sconces and a large chandelier above the middle of the room.Passengers could read books located on the bookshelf located in the aft end of the room. The lounge had its own small pantry to allow first class stewards to serve tea and small sandwiches.

After the collision with the iceberg, passengers gathered in the lounge to avoid the biting cold while awaiting further instructions from the crew. Witnesses testified the Titanic's orchestra began their performance that night in the lounge at this time.

When the Titanic broke up, the lounge was located directly in the affected area and disintegrated. Artifacts from the room can be found today in the debris field.
