The staircase has been prominently featured in Titanic media and often recreated in film, making it one of the most recognizable features of the lost liner . </P> <P> Sited in the forward part of the ship, the Grand Staircase was the main communication between decks for First - Class passengers and the point of entry to numerous public rooms .

Just forward of the staircase a passenger could turn the corner and find the three First - Class elevators that communicated alongside the staircase between A and E-Decks . </P>
