Detective Baker tells Captain Farley that the man they were asked to look for "is on board the Queen Mary, occupying suite three-one-two, First Class, C deck." The Queen Mary had no First Class suites, or staterooms, on C deck; all three classes' dining rooms were on that deck (which was re-designated R deck, for "restaurant," after World War II), along with the kitchens, crew facilities, the upper (balcony) level of the first-class swimming pool, Turkish baths, some Tourist (second) Class cabins aft and a few Third Class cabins forward. Also, in 1937 the first class on the Queen Mary was called Cabin Class; after WWII it was renamed First Class, the second class became Cabin Class, and Third Class became Tourist Class. In addition, stateroom numbers on the Queen Mary were preceded by the deck letter; the suite referenced by the detective, if it existed, would have been numbered C312, although suites did not have numbers of their own but rather consisted of adjoining, individually-numbered staterooms, on Main (M) deck and A deck (above C deck), and were identified by those numbers.
