: If I'm on the same page as everyone else and it's the thwartship stairway abaft the third funnel that is being discussed, I have to go with Mark on this one. There's no way there can be an open stairway from a weather deck down into the first class lounge pantry on a ship built to operate in the north Atlantic, or anywhere else come to that. If my interpretation of the plans is right, the stairway goes all the way down into the bowels of the ship, to the catering staff accommodation on the upper deck. The upper door may not have to be watertight but for sure it would have to be weather tight. My two cents worth for what it's worth.
