Scotland Road is the passageway that went almost half of length of the ship and was used by the crew to get anywhere quickly. It was also used by the crew when either going from the top deck or boiler rooms to the sleeping quarters. Scotland Road is actually a maze of roads that run throughout Scotland and has been for over 200 years. Scotland Road on the Titanic was used by crew members but some speculate that while the Titanic was sinking, some of the 3rd class passengers went through Scotland Road trying to reach the lifeboats. It's also possible that the list towards port during the sinking was contributed to by Scotland Road which didn't went through the bulkheads. It would've allowed water to enter the port side unaltered. When James Cameron went down into the ship, he was able to go a little way down it. It's a rust covered hallway with fallen pipes that used to be on the ceiling today.
