  2. My name is Madeline Tallmadge Astor.

  3. Titanic first class smoking room • Today I went to the smoking room, I found out it was only for men. Unlike other rooms the smoking room had working fireplaces fired by coal and kept in adjacent hods.

  4. I also went to the reading and writing room. • It had a bay window outboard and a fireplace aft anchored the beautiful proportions of the room and suggested a cozy environment in which to do the activities suggested by the room’s name, especially on blustery days. • As a counterpoint to the men's smoking room this stylish space was primarily intended for the ladies.

  6. Since the reading and writing room was so interesting I decided to go there after dinner as my husband went to the smoking room. • I enjoyed a nice cup of coffee and a interesting conversation with the other ladies. • I expected more ladies would be in the room but there were not. • This room did not need to be as big as it was.

  7. April 11,1912. • Dear diary, Today I checked out the gymnasium. I went around 10;30pm. It had an order in wich things happened. • The gentlemen went from 6am to 9am.Ladies went from 10am to 1pm. Children from 1pm to 3pm. Gentlemen again from 4pm to 6pm. • The gymnasium was for first class people like myself.

  8. The gymnasium was on the start board side of the deck. • It had rowing machines, and stationary bicycles, the Titanic had full complement of electrical exercise equipment under the supervision of a gym instructor. • After a workout like that, mechanical hammers were at the ready to massage out the muscle kinks.

  9. April 12,1912. • Dear diary, I am a little stressed today out so I thought a massage would be a good idea. So I went to the Turkish electric and swimming baths. I had to pay only one dollar and I stayed an hour. I was really relaxed. So after that I went to the galley for first and second class. Over 62,000 meals were to be served during our voyage. It was a small comfortable place.

  10. April 13,1912 Dear diary, Today I went to the Squash Racquet Court.It was located well down in the ship, it was on lower deck. As well as the gymnasium it was under the supervision of an attendant,who was there to take care of every need.He gave me and my husband racquets and a ball. We Played for only the fee of $0.50. There was no one waiting so we got to play for the amount of time we wanted.
