Foolish me! I forgot that twelve cabins on C deck did NOT share their bathrooms! This doesn't change the outcome of the number of toilets, but this does mean that A36 and A37 weren't the only cabins with their own private baths. These C Deck cabins would still be required to pay to use the bathrooms, or they would be locked.

Victorians DID bathe... they were the ones who brought back baths (which had become less frequent after the Black Death of the 14th century). Most people generally had a full bath on Saturday nights in a tin tub; Families probably usually all bathed in the same water. Hair was washed but not very often (about once a month, with Borax or some egg and alcohol concoction). Underclothes were washed regularly, but you're right about outer clothes, they were often just brushed). The wealthy who had plumbed in bathtubs bathed daily. Bathing once a week was normal for most until the end of WWII, when the soldiers brought home better hygiene habits -- bathing and brushing teeth every day became the norm.

What I find so fascinating about the washrooms on board the Titanic is how oddly public they were. At a time when privacy was so valued (both in the sense of social privacy and bodily prudishness) the passengers on the Titanic must've been quiet public when they used these facilities. It is hard to imagine Edwardian first class passengers wearing a bathrobe while walking down the cabin hallways in search of the nearest lavatory. On the RMS Queen Mary, privacy was so important that no first class cabin doors opened directly to the hallways but, rather there were small side halls that had the doors on either side (so that if walking down a main corridor you couldn't see into someones cabin). How different things changed from 1912-36. When that Australian chap was attempting to make a replica of the Titanic, I thought to myself that his venture was doomed to fail if he didn't alter the cabin and bathroom arrangements.

Many people notice in the drawings of old wooden ships the the netting hung on the front and don't even think why is it there? One major item left out in the evolution of maritime toilets in this video is indicated by the term which is even used today in the navy, "Going to the Head" for using the restroom. One would go to the front/head of the ship and sit down on the netting and go into the ocean. The best way to keep a ship sanitary is to have an outhouse actually outside of the ship itself. Because the netting was rained upon and was in the sun and spray, the toilet was largely self-cleaning. It could be lowered into the water if need be.

Regarding the lack of private bathrooms being one of the reasons Olympic was retired, according to Mark Chirnside in the book *Olympic, Titanic, Britannic*, that's a myth, as by the 1930's, loads of first class cabins aboard the ship had their own private bathrooms installed (particularly the cabins forward of A deck and B deck). Even though not every first class cabin was given a private bath, by the late 20's/30's, so few people were sailing that people traveling in first class didn't have much issue getting a cabin with a private bath. If you look on plans of Olympic's first class accommodations from 1934, you can see the cabins that were given private baths. EDIT: That being said, of course, the video is still extremely well researched/put together, keep up the great work!

The simple fact is that by the 1930s the Olympic was horribly outdated--a relic of the Victorian/Edwardian age. Had she been built ten years earlier or ten years later it likely would have been a longer service life. Her time, unfortunately for her, saw major developments in technology and social standards coming on at a rapid pace.
@TechnologicallyTechnical2 жыл бұрын
@@Dallas_K Not the case. She was still one of the largest ships even by 1935, and her refits kept her up to snuff. In 1933, a member of a band that was invited aboard the ship described the staircase as one of the most breathtaking sites he'd ever seen. She was a very well regarded ship even by the end. When her (and Mauretania's) retirement was announced, people asked that she (and Mauretania) be preserved. The fact is, it was the depression and US immigration quotas that sealed her (and many other ships') fates.

Other people will remember this too - public toilets in England where you went to spend a penny. The spend a penny was money given to a lady with a very large cloth who wiped the toilet seat before you used the toilet. I assume she refreshed the cloth via disinfectant. Those public toilets were much cleaner than they are today. But using the same rag/cloth on each toilet seat does not seem like a great idea regardless of disinfectant, which might have been Dettol, still around today. But that was before the days of products like Kleenex.

It’s a largely embellished myth that Victorians stunk. Yes, London was pretty dirty, but so was New York in the 70s and 80s and many today as well. And you really shouldn’t bathe every day, even if you do sweat a little in the day. Usually every 3 days if you’re not a dirty person. And nobody should wash their clothing after one use or a couple. Most clothing is perfectly fine after multiple usages, jeans and some pants especially. But clothing was washed relatively often back then. Hence washboards and wash tubs. But the thing is, people today over wash things because the widespread availability of plumbing has made them falsely believe they need to wash everything and anything every single day in order to remain sanitary.
@richardsmith28794 жыл бұрын
People who could wore clean linen every day, and it was this that was washed frequently. You are correct that outer garments don’t need washing all the time, or at all if they are used infrequently. And bodies that aren’t doing sweaty work don’t need daily washing either, as long as the linen is clean. I take my personal hygiene from Queen Elizabeth the first, who had a bath every month, ‘whether she needed it or no’. In fact I never have a bath, as I like a shower now and again.

Thanks Matt. So although the communal lavatories and bathrooms were more of the thing back then, they used more or less the same things we do now. Well, a part from a few third class passengers. It seems to me the Titanic is often described as a floating hotel, but was more like a floating stately home in first class. With the lounge, smoke room, ur servant(s) not too far away, and u had to share bathrooms and lavatories. The only down side is those wash basins and folding lavatories in people's cabins, I'd have used all of the water in a second and third class cabin in like 2 mins, and if they emptied into a tank it's not like u could get a jug of water from somewhere else and use that in there, cus then the waste water will no doubt overflow! I am curious to know if the lever for the toilets was a mechanism like a modern flush on a toilet where u just had to turn it, or like a tap where u had to turn it to flush and then turn it back the other way after ur business had flushed away to turn the water off?

What I'm asking myself: As far as I've studied the deck plans of Titanic, it seems that there are no specific restrooms in context of public spaces like the dining salon or other facilities; places that we today would expect to provide their own easy-to-reach toilets for present passenges. What would a passenger do if he or she needed to go to a toilet? Would he or she need to have an onerous walk through the ship to the toilet in/near their own cabin? Or did I just miss public restrooms on the deck plan?

What’s your definition of onerous? The whole ship is only 270m front to back
