Sleeping Accommodation in Titanic’s Second-Class

Titanic’s second-class cabins were far from the luxurious accommodations of first class but still offered more than the spartan conditions of Third Class. With bunk beds and shared bathroom facilities, these cabins were equipped with basic furniture, including a sofa, wardrobe, and dressing table with washbasin and mirror. However, due to the rushed completion of the ship, some second-class rooms were cramped, poorly furnished, and lacked proper heating.

Passengers like Imanita Shelley complained, as there were even half-eaten sandwiches left behind by workmen. Despite these issues, many second-class amenities rivaled those of other ships of the time. A room cost around $60, equivalent to roughly $1.7k today.
