Titanic: The Legacy Of A Leviathan

 A maximum of 550 passengers could be accommodated in second class.  The rooms were fitted in enamel white with mahogany furniture. The Staterooms of the second class were very similar to the typical cabins of the First Class. The second class or middle class would have been treated in exactly the same way as the first class passengers would have been on other contemporary shipping lines

The Dining Room could seat 2394 people at one sitting. The room had oak panels with pivoted sidelights which provided a great sophistication  to the dining room. There was a piano in the room to entertain diners. All the furniture was mahogany with crimson upholstery.            

 After dinner, the gentlemen of the second class could retreat from the Dining Room to their Smoking Room.This room was decorated in Louis XVI style and it had oak paneling .Linoleum tiles were specially designed for the room and were unique to the ship.  After dinner, traveling second class women would part company from their partners and often sought in the Library. This was the equivalent of the First Class Reading and Writing Room. The room was excellently appointed filled with mahogany furniture. A large book case was situated at the forward end opposite the bulkhead.

The Smoking Room was used for the same purpose as the one in 1st-class, for men. This one had carved oak panelling and lovely oak furniture covered with a nice dark green morocco leather.
