"Every Titanic movie depicts third-class passengers trapped behind floor-to-ceiling gates. Careful examination of available plans of Olympic and Titanic reveals no such gates in passenger areas. U.S. immigration regulations required segregation of third class from first and second — the former faced Ellis Island inspection; all others landed directly at the pier. On Titanic, waist-high gates separated classes. Stewards nearby prevented gate-jumping. Eventually, they left to help in the evacuation, leaving gates unguarded, explaining a surge of third-class passengers onto the boat deck after most lifeboats had left. One author plotted more than 20 paths from third-class areas to the boat deck. The high third-class death toll resulted primarily from language barriers, natural obedience to authority figures, refusal to leave male loved ones behind and the absence of communication." Quote from Charles A. Haas, who has co-authored with John P. Eaton five acclaimed books about Titanic. In 1993, Haas was the first teacher to dive to Titanic's wreck and he serves today as president of Titanic International Society, based in Midland Park.

Damir mujkic When a ship is christened they always say, "May God bless all those who travel on this ship". That doesn't sound like paganism to me, old chap.

@normajeanmorrissey2903 The ark is an allegory. You could never have gotten all of the species of animals in the world on that small ship.

@ilovesteveclark6084 They weren't locked in. The waist high gates weren't locked, they were guarded by crewmen. As soon as 1st and 2nd class passengers went up to the boat deck, the 3rd class passengers were allowed to go up as well. But by then, all of the lifeboats had left the ship.

@carlgharis7948 The Californian was the closest ship to the Titanic. But her wireless operator went to bed at midnight and shut the wireless off. The Titanic had two wireless operators and they were on duty 24 hours a day. So were the wireless operators on the Carpathia and the Olympic.

@babykevinxoxo There wasn't time. The iceberg was already upon them. And a ship that large takes many minutes to reverse course.

@abbyd323 Grammar and spelling are important. The world is sinking into a swamp of poor grammar and spelling.
