According to the New York Times archive passengers who could not get a hotel room in Cherbourg would sleep inside the tender. I wonder what arrangements were made e.g. fold out beds, pillows, blankets etc.

One example

December 8th 1911

'Passengers from the White Star liner Olympic grumbled loudly at the arrangements for their accommodation at Cherbourg. The passengers were informed that the North German Lloyd agent at Cherbourg had got ahead of the White Star representative by engaging accommodations for the Kronprinz Wilhelm's passengers on their arrival from Paris at the Casino de Paris. The Olympic's passengers had to do the best they could. Some sat up in chairs on the tender while others slept inside the train at the station. Mrs James B. Potter said she had to sleep on a dining room table at a nearby inn and had to wait until 3am before the dining room was empty.'
