Hello all,
My question is regards to the promenades on the forward end of A-Deck and B-Deck—specifically, these sections here:
Looking at the deck plans for A-Deck, there is a bulkhead with a door (which I've boxed in red) on each side of the ship that separates this section of the promenade deck from the rest:
Meanwhile, on the B-Deck promenade below, there is a stairway leading down to the forward well deck (gated to keep third class passengers down there) and a stairway on each side of the ship that leads up to the officer's promenade on the Boat Deck. Again, I've boxed these in red:
Simply put, with these obstructions in place, would passengers have been allowed to take a stroll on either of these two forward promenades and peer out at the ocean ahead of them? Or were they closed off for crew access only?
