What was life like on 3rd claass on the titanic?

Life on the Titanic for third class passengers was anything but ideal. Although they were getting to America just as much as the first class passengers were, The conditions for them were so much worse. The wealthy had luxurious rooms and suites with the most elegant furniture while the third class passengers had very small rooms with bunk beds. the ship was divided by class where the upper deck was mostly for the wealthy and the poor were confined to the lower decks. But the real disaster was when the Titanic hit the iceberg. Because first class passengers were closer to the higher decks, it was more possible for them to reach the lifeboats than the third class passengers. There's even evidence to say that ship crew locked the lower class below decks using gates within the ship. The third class passengers on the Titanic had very little comforts on the ship and many were not even given the chance to try to survive.

Why did all Titanic's 2nd class kids survive but not first class?

the first class passengers were closer to the top of the boat, therefore could get to the lifeboats quicker. A lot of the lower class passengers couldn't get up to the deck in time to get a lifeboat as there were not enough. the first class passengers were closer to the top of the boat, therefore could get to the lifeboats quicker.
