Because the Third Class passengers were near the bottom of the ship, so the water drowned them first. Another reason could be they couldn't find their way to the deck, or maybe just because they were third class and just didn't get the same

Did allthe third class passengers on the titanic die?

Seventy-five percent of the third-class passengers died because there were insufficient third-class lifeboats and could not readily reach them. It has also been alleged they were deliberately prevented from escape.


How did the third class passengers handle the ice on the deck?

After the ship hit the iceberg, many third class passengers were seeking ways to the top decks which were found by many but not all. Nobody was locked in, down there, they were simply trying to navigate the maze of corridors in what was a new vessel.

Was millvina dean in the first class?

No it said in her bio that she traveled as a first class passenger but she managed to get a boat with the second class passengers. Some mothers were actually leaving their babies on the boat so the baby would die and the mother would get a life boat, how selfish


How were the third class passengers treated on the titanic?

OH YEA! First of all, the 1st class people paid more, were richer, and because they were rich they got high quality rooms. I went to a Titanic exhibit at a science museum and they showed replicas of the rooms. The First class room had couches and king size beds and giant bathrooms and 3 windows. The 3rd class passengers had 2 bunk beds and a sink and the room was literally 10 feet by 5 feet! Not joking!!! Also the first class passengers got to get off the boat first while sinking. That's why many of the second and mostly third class all died. Also, at the exhibit, they showed a replica of the iceberg and the temperature of the water. My friend and I couldn't keep our hand in the water for more than 10 seconds it was that freezing. Also, what many people don't know is the people didn't die from drowning, only some, most people died from hypothermia. Hypothermia is when your body temperature drops so dramatically and so amazingly fast that you freeze to death.
