This plan, published by the White Star Line, presents a detailed layout of the first-class cabins, spread over the various bridges constituting the ship.

The cabins were luxuriously planned with private bathrooms. First-class passengers could had access to numerous reception rooms, could relax by the pool or work-out in the gym. * Telegram (The Western Union Telegraph Company) sent by the White Star Line to Senator JA Hughes [whose daughter Catherine was on board the Titanic], dated New York April 15, 1912: “Titanic proceeding to Halifax passengers will probably land there Wednesday all safe.” This message illustrates the troubled role that the shipping company played in managing the crisis that followed the sinking; according to some historians, the reasons for this missive would be financial. The White Star Line wanted to reinsure the Titanic urgently for a higher amount than previously set. * Postcard of the Titanic rescue boat at sea, approaching the Carpathia; and 4 copies of the postcar
