One thing I was amazed at was the 700 3rd class passengers had to share 2 bathtubs. UCK!

I think it had 4 tubs accessible to them, 2 on a mid deck but bathing wasn't really a thing back then. They had several water closets which could have been used for the quick wipe down.

How did they all get in? It was practice for struggling for their lifeboats! Incidentally, I am told that the Titanic's sister ship didn't last a lot longer.
