A library for second class

The library was a very popular room on the Titanic. Many passengers remarked that the library was a 'beautifully furnished room, with lounges, armchairs, and small writing-or card tables' (Lawrence Beasley). Courtesy of titanicgazette.blogspot.com

A gym with simple workout equipment and a mechanical horse for children to play on
