Hello,
Quote:
Please cite some figures to back up this statement. Quote: now they're going to go to America and waste money on something else. It's a really broad generalisation. A number of first class travellers would be businessmen, who travelled back and forth throughout the year. Quote: while the 3rd-class passengers r coming to America to start a new life. a lot of ppl were coming to America. once they got here and saw how much "better" it was then back in Europe. they would send for relatives. I'm sure there's some truth in that, but it doesn't prove that the third class traffic generated more profit on a ship such as the Titanic. Quote: plus meal costs were less too. the First-class required much more elegant rooms, meals, etc. so it cost more. True, but first class paid much more. If a minimum third class fare was £7, as I've said, then a single first class passenger on a minimum fare would generate more revenue than three third class passengers. As you say, first class cost more, but when you have suites in first class costing (if I remember rightly) up to £870, then a single millionaire engaging such a suite would generate more revenue than 124 third class passengers on a minimum fare. Throughout Olympic's life, especially after the immigration restrictions of the early 1920s, she carried more first class passengers if my memory serves. Quote: if u look at the stats, it was the poor ppl who were imigrating to America. some rich ppl, Yes. but mostly poor ppl. in the longrun the 3rd class was better profit. There's a great difference between pointing out that there were many immigrants in third class, and then saying that they made a better profit. You haven't backed up your argument with any significant evidence or figures. Best wishes, Mark. |
