Description
Between the 4th and 3rd funnels was the Aft Grand Staircase. Unlike the more celebrated forward stairs, there is little if any photos of the aft staircase. This one shows a very rare view of the dome and foyer.

The Aft Grand Staircase extended from A-Deck to C-Deck and B-Deck served as a reception room for the Cafe Parisian and A La Carte Restaurant. C-Deck was the end of the stairs with two doors leading to the Barber's Shop on the left and Maids/Valet Dining Saloon on the right.

On A-Deck were two cabins--A-36 & A-37--that were placed on both opposite sides of the stairs.

(HINT: The wall that bulges inward with two windows on the left is Cabin A-36 to be exact.)

The aft grand staircase was torn apart as the Titanic broke up shortly before sinking. Much of the wood and other debris found floating after the sinking is thought to have come from the aft staircase. During the 1987 exploration on the Titanic wreck, a bronze cherub was found near the ruins where the aft grand staircase was on the wreck of the stern.
