1st Class Smoke Room Bar windows

[Bob Read]

I have been wondering about the documentation for the round windows on the aft bulkhead of the raised roof over the 1st Class Smokeroom. These served the bar aft of the smokeroom. Ken Marschall and others have represented 3 round windows. The reference always given is the collapsed aft bulkhead of the Smokeroom shown in the photo on p. 169 of Ballard's "Discovery of the Titanic". When looking at the photo I am only able to identify two round windows. Is there an uncropped version of this photo somewhere or is something visible in that photo that I can't see?

Bob,

Have you checked to see if it is uncropped in the NG issue?

I know I saw three windows there somewhere.

Bruce:
I looked in the NG issues 1985, 1987, and 2004 and I can't find a photo, cropped or uncropped, of this area. I'm not contesting the three windows but does anybody have any better evidence than p.169 in Ballard's "Discovery of the Titanic"? If it's true, it should be easy to document, right?
