Titanic Maiden voyage 10 April 1912 Largest steamship in the world at the time Sank April 15, 1912 Featured: Gymnasium Tennis courts Swimming pool Turkish and electric baths Dark room for photographers Kennels for First Class dogs Elevators

Social Class on the Titanic People were divided into social classes according to their background, wealth, and education Bottom layer: manual workers Next layer: third-class passengers Next layer: second class layer was for teachers, merchants, and professionals Top layer: first class, rich and aristocratic

Comparison of Classes Steerage/Third Class First Class

Social Class on the Titanic Breakdown of who was on Titanic 337 passengers in first class 271 in second class 712 in third class/steerage Ireland, England, France, Poland, Scandinavia, Italy and the Middle and Far East

Demographic of who Survived First class: 203 (62%) saved, 122 (38%) lost Second class: 118 (41%) saved, 167 (59%) lost Steerage class: 178 (25%) saved, 528 (75%) lost Crew: 212 (24%) saved, 673 (76%) lost Based on social class, the percentage of who survived on the Titanic were majority first class. Why is this?

Demographic of who Survived Variety of reasons why more lower class passengers perished: Language Location passengers in second class and steerage did not arrive at their boat stations until much later, after many of the lifeboats had already left *there was only enough lifeboats on the Titanic for about half of the estimated 2,200 passengers Is this fair?

Social Class in the 20th Century Industrial Revolution (late 19th century and early 20th Century Rapid growth of U.S. population Railroads, steel, meatpacking and textile industry Large factories Creation of working-class Divisions between upper-class and lower-classes
