Message: [QUOTE="Lester Mitcham, post: 15576, member: 141229"] Hi Michael, The other decks: B-deck - forward: 49 rooms: 27 single-berth. 24 of which could be provided with a sofa-berth. Four 2-berth and eighteen 3-berth. = 27+24+8+54=113 Aft: 50 rooms: Thirty-two 2-berth and six 3-berth = 64+18=82 There were also 12 rooms which show on deck plans as being 2-berth; but in a Fares Rate booklet are defined as single-berth [no sofa or upper Pullman-berths being mentioned]. These rooms are further defined as Servant's rooms for the Suites-of-Rooms. So 12 or 24? 113+82+12 = 207+12 = 219; which is the total on the List which you drew my attention to. C-deck: 131 rooms: 16 single-berth of which 15 could be fitted with a sofa-berth or an upper Pullman-berth = 31 Fifty-eight 2-berth; 17 of which could be fitted with an upper Pullman-berth = 116+17 = 133 Sixty-one 3-berth = 183 31+133+183 = 347 D-deck: 49 rooms: 11 single-berth, all of which could be fitted with an upper Pullman-berth. Six 2-berth and Thirty-two 3-berth = 11+11+12+96 = 130 E-deck: Old 1st Class: 45 rooms: 11 single-berth, all of which could be fitted with an upper Pullman-berth. Two 2-berth; twenty-eight 3-berth and four 4-berth = 11+11+4+84+16 = 126 Ex-2nd Class: 46 rooms: 9 single-berth, all of which could be fitted with an upper Pullman-berth. Thirty-seven 3-berth. = 9+9+111 = 129 905+129 = 1034. So the figures you knew about excluded rooms that had been 2nd Class; while the set of figures I knew about included those rooms. The one niggling question is the Servant's rooms on B-deck. Were they originally for 2 and re-defined as single-berth; or did they remain as 2-berth; with a sofa-berth or like B-5 and B-6 have an upper-berth? Perhaps I should also do 2nd and 3rd Class?
