Yes, because there were locked gates to keep one class out of the others.
For example: There were gates locked just in case the third-class passengers had diseases.
178 out of 706 third-class passengers survived
A baby in Third-Class, Elizabeth Gladys (Millvina) Dean (and her brother, Bertram), who survived on lifeboat #10, was the last living survivor of the sinking of Titanic, having died on May 31st 2009 at 97. Ellen Shine (Callahan), another Third-Class passenger, lived to be the grandmother of future New York City Council speaker, Christine Quinn.
the people in third class on titanic would have gone into steerage, which was low down in the hull of the ship
No. Third-class passengers were never locked down, contrary to popular belief.

no..just some of them where..it was the crew members that were stuck in the titanic..the crew members were stuck so the got slid into the water when part of the ship was rising out of the water.-----Actually, the whole third class was locked down, but some of them escaped to the deck, pretending to be first classmen, therefore being let into life boats. However, there was a total of 710 third classmen total with only 174 surviving. That is only about 24% that survived.
Joseph Philippe Lemercier Laroche, second class passenger, was the only black person on the Titanic. He was traveling with his pregnant wife and two young daughters from France to Haiti. They were originally supposed to sail on a different ship, but were transferred at the last minute to the Titanic. He did not survive, but his wife and two daughters did.

Ruth Becker was aboard the Titanic and she had 2 siblings Richard whom was 1 years old and Marion whom was 4 years old aboard the Titanic. Her mom was Nellie Becker and was 35 when aboard the Titanic. They all survived the sinking of the Titanic . When Ruth died she wanted to be buried with the Titanic so if you go down to Titanic you will probably see her body.
Bruce Ismay should have died on the ship. As the owner of the ship he was expected to go down with it and on his return to England he was branded a coward.
The Titanic originally went down by hitting an iceberg and splitting in half. Scientists have proved, though, that the impact of hitting the iceberg caused the ship to buckle and collapse. 705 people survived and the rest (estimated 1552) drowned. The ships captain, Captain Smith, was attempting to beat the record for crossing the Atlantic Ocean so he was going extremely fast. The ship didn't have enough lifeboats for everyone, although the first lifeboat could hold 40 and set off with 12, and the second could hold 30 and set of with 7. Your class also affected your survival. The third class people were accused of being diseased and were locked down in their cabins to drown. First class people got on the first lifeboats; though the women and children of the first class were the first off. Many second class people were mistaken for third class and locked down below the deck, but many were also mistaken for first class. Unlike tradition, the Captain was one of the first off, although he died of hypothermia (which is when you get too cold). Many other passengers died of hypothermia but their life jackets kept them afloat so they floated and froze. No third class people survived.
