I disagree with that, sorry Lightoller. Third Class in Titanic set a new standard for shipboard life. They had their own Smoking Room, own Promenade deck, and seperate seats at tables which was a major improvement against any ship of it's time. First class in 1890 was the equivalent of Third Class aboard Titanic in 1912. That's my thoughts anyway. Cheers.

Hi, I have read what you both are saying and agree with both of you to a certain degree. I feel that the 3rd class travellers had better travel arrangements then before but it was disgraceful the way the life boats where only half filled!!!! This proved to me that even in hard times the first class passengers would look down at the third class passengers as filth. This really bugs me because so many lives could have been saved!!! I feel it was portrayed as the ship of dreams because that is exactly what it was to many people, even though it ended up being a complete nightmare. Gwen |

I agree to a large extent with Lightoller. Although class struggles were happening it took the First World War to realy set in motion the wheels of social change through out large parts of the world, but do remember how class barriers were crossed particularly after the Titanic disaster with many from all classes helping each other; Once again tragedy opens the eyes.

I agree totally with you Lightholler (Officer!) However, I did think that both A Night to Remember and Titanic did represent the reality quite well.

I think that the Titanic is often remembered for the famous people that sailed on it. However, James Cameron's movie did address the reality and accurately depicted the Titanic as an emigrant liner as well.

I agree with Gwen and Adam. Oh yeah, the Titanic was a mail/cargo vessel too, hence the "RMS" part of Titanic.
