The Third-Class cabins were located in the lower parts of the ship (F-Deck and G-Deck) and were the least desirable of accomodations aboard the Titanic. Even so, they were superior to what many of the passengers would have known at home. Single men and women were separated by an entire ship's length - men in the bow and women in the stern. For the Third-Class passengers or "Steerage", there was a large number of enclosed berths, with 84 two-berth cabins. The cabins ranged from two-berth to six-berth and even eight-berth rooms. The Third-Class twin-berth cabins aboard the Titanic had fold away bunks to allow more space during the day. The total number of Third-Class passengers provided for was over 1,100. Third-Class accommodation was also very good. Veitchi-covered stairways in Third-Class entrances opened onto linoleum tiled, steel-walled corridors. There were also portable rooms whose steel, movable walls enclosed variable spaces according to the number of passengers on board. Almost all Third-Class cabins were panelled in pine and had veitchi floor coverings.
Cost of a Third-Class ticket (one way): £3/$15 to £8/$40 ($172 to $460 today).
