There were 3 economic levels on the Titanic. The very top of the ship were cabins and a deck only for wealthy passengers. People like Rockefeller were on the upper deck. The center deck was for people of more modest means, and they didn't mix with the upper deck passengers. At the lowest level of the ship was steerage. This was below the waterline and it was for poor people and immigrants. They were locked in and couldn't leave steerage. When the ship hit the iceberg and began to take on water the people in steerage couldn't escape because the doors that would allow them to the other decks was locked. They died and were the majority of the deaths. That is why the death toll was so high.
