Titanics Launch
Within a minute Titanic reached a launch speed of
12½ knots.  To enable her gigantic hull to slide
smoothly down the ways, vast quantities of
lubricants were used 15 tons of tallow, 5 tons
of tallow and train oil mixed together with 3
tons of soft soap.  Heavy chains and anchors
arrested the launch momentum of Titanic and she
was pulled up.
Shipyard worker's ticket for the launch of
Titanic, 31 May 1911This ticket was issued to
Mr David Moneypenny, a Harland  Wolff painter
who worked on Titanic's first-class
accommodation. The creases in the ticket suggest
it was folded and kept in his pocket.

First Class Rooms.

• The First Class is only for the rich people and
  all the rooms are grand.

5
First Class Main Staircase.
"In the middle of the hall rises a gracefully
curving staircase, its balustrade supported by
light scroll-work of iron with occasional touches
of bronze, in the form of flowers and foliage
..  The staircase is one of the principal
features of the ship, and will be greatly admired
as being without doubt the finest piece of
workmanship of its kind afloat"
6
First Class Lifts Or Elevators.
"We may be spared the labour of mounting or
descending stairs by entering one of the
smoothly-gliding elevators which bear us quickly
to any other of the numerous floors of the ship
we may wish to visit".
7
First Class Dining Saloon
"This immense room has been decorated in a style
peculiarly English that, in fact, which was
evolved by the eminent architects of early
Jacobean times (early 1600s). The furniture of
oak is designed to harmonise with its
surroundings".
8
First Class Turkish Baths Cooling Room
"One of the most interesting and striking rooms
on the ship.  The port-holes are concealed by an
elaborately-carved Cairo curtain, through which
the light fitfully reveals something of the
grandeur of the mysterious East.
9
First Class Squash racquet court
"The court is situated on the lower deck and
extends two decks high for a length of 30 feet. 
A spectator gallery is placed on the after end of
the court on the middle deck level".
10
First Class Swimming Bath
Then the morning plunge in the great swimming
bath, where the ceaseless ripple of the tepid sea
water was almost the only indication that
somewhere in the distance 72,000 horses in the
guise of steam engines fretted and strained under
the skilful guidance of the engineers".
11
First Class Gymnasium
Passengers can "indulge in the action of horse
riding, cycling, boat rowing etc, and obtain
beneficial exercise, besides endless amusement".

12
First Class Bathroom In Parlour Suite
"The Titanic also contains special suites of
rooms, consisting of bedrooms, sitting room,
bathroom and servants room, and these will have
their own private promenade, shut off from the
rest of the ship, and not overlooked by other
passengers." 
13
Second Class Rooms

• The Second Class is for the people who is not as
  rich as the first class and is not as poor as the
  third class.

14
Second Class Boat Deck
"Nothing has been omitted in the determination to
place the two new White Star leviathans beyond
criticism as to the excellence of the
accommodation both in the second and third
classes .. the spaces provided for second class
promenades are unusually spaciousthe boat deck
is surmounted only by the open canopy of heaven".

15
Second Class Single-Berth Stateroom
"The White Star Line has done much to increase
the attractions of second-class accommodation
during recent years, having made a special
feature of this in a number of their vessels and
in the Olympic and Titanic it will be found that
this class of passenger has been generously
provided for".
16
Second Class Two-Berth Stateroom
"It would have been difficult a few years ago to
conceive such sumptuous appointments in the
second class natural light to each cabin the
rooms are finished enamel white and have mahogany
furniture covered with moquette and linoleum
tiles on the floor".
17
Second Class Dining Room
"The panelling of this room is carried out in oak
at the forward end a specially-designed
sideboard, with a piano in the centre, is
provided the furniture is in mahogany, the
upholstery of crimson leather and the floor has
linoleum tiles of special design".
18
Second Class Smoke Room
"The decoration is a variation of Louis XVI
period the panelling and dado are of oak
relieved with carving the furniture is of oak of
special design, covered with plain, dark green
morocco".
19
Third Class Rooms

• The Third Class is totally not as rich as the
  First Class and not as rich as the Second Class
  but they are the poor ones on the ship.

20
Third Class Two-Berth Stateroom
"The accommodation for third class passengers in
these steamers is also of a very superior
character, the public rooms being large, airy
apartments, suitably furnished, and in excellent
positions, and the same applies to the
third-class staterooms and berths".
21
Third Class Dining Saloon
" situated amidships on the middle deck,
consisting of two saloons extending from ships
side to ships side, well lighted with
sidelights, and all finished enamel white the
chairs are of special design.  The position of
this apartment i.e. in the centre of the ship
illustrates the wonderful strides made in
passenger comfort in modern times".
22
Third Class General Room
"It is panelled and framed in pine and finished
enamel white, with furniture of teak.  This will
be the general rendezvous of the third-class
passengers men, women and children and will
doubtless prove one of the liveliest rooms on the
ship .  The new field of endeavour is looked
forward to with hope and confidence the
interval between the old life and the new is
spent under the happiest possible conditions".
