The Forward Well Deck on C Deck was one of the two well decks of the Titanic. Prominent were two cargo hatches leading to cargo holds 2 & 3. The well decks were Steerage zones, and the forward well deck had an entrance leading to the Third Class Open Space one deck lower. On deck, there was a stairwell leading up to First Class area one deck higher, but it was blocked by a waist-high gate with a sign telling steerage passengers to stay in their area.
