The lowest court is, of
course, that in the Titanic. This sits some 12,460 feet (2.36 miles),
3,799 metres (3.8Km) or 2,077 fathoms below sea level
some 800 miles (1,280Km) south of Newfoundland in the Atlantic
Ocean.. All the wood has long gone and the court would be
unrecognizable except for the space. For further details click

This shows the gymnasium and shows the style of decoration and furniture
used in those far off days. Unfortunately a picture of the Squash
court has not yet been traced.
The following description will be of interest. "The first
on-board swimming pools were installed as was a gymnasium that included
an electric horse and an electric camel, a squash court, a number of
rowing machines, and stationary bicycles, all supervised by a staff of
professional instructors".
