The dining saloon for third-class was located on Middle or F-deck and was divided in two by a watertight bulkhead.  Seating was at the customary long table each accommodating up to 20 people.  Both rooms together had a capacity of 473, with a provision for two sittings if third-class were heavily booked.

The room was bare, even by third-class standards of the period, but it was enameled white and brightened by sidelights.  Instead of a cloakroom for wraps as in first-class, third-class passengers simply hung their own coats on the dozens of hooks (93/0087) spaced around the room. The floor of the room was also done simply in a bare composition sub-flooring tinted pink (93/0100).

Uncomplicated but hearty fare was the order of the day in this dining saloon with freshly baked bread and fruit available at every meal.  In many instances, this was the best food the emigrant passenger had ever had. The china and glassware, of which the mug (94/0248.2/3) is only a small sampling of the pieces in the collection, complimented the food.  It was serviceable and chip resistant, with no maker’s or brokerage marks on the reverse side.  However, prominent on the face of the plates and on the mugs was the highly recognizable red White Star Line's logo—a measure to discourage thievery. Like all china on board, the name "Titanic" never appeared, allowing its use on other White Star Line ships if necessary.
