Rich and poor, famous and obscure, "Titanic was a symbol of structured society."2 First class was very high class. Aboard Titanic's first class were the famous John Jacob Astor, Molly Brown, the countess of Roths and many other wealthy families. Second class was high class but pretty average. However, third class was nothing to talk about. The families in third class were not well off. Although some were jealous of first class, many were thankful for what they had.3

Titanic was one of the largest man made ships of that time. Everything was set to perfection. Titanic was thought to be a safe ship. Ismay, the ship's designer, designed water tight doors that would make Titanic unsinkable. At that ti

"No one will ever know what thoughts went through First Officer Murdoch's mind as the wall of Ice passed along the starboard side of the bow."7 Many people awoke from the horrible sound. Passengers went up on deck to see what happened. The passengers aboard the Titanic had not yet gone through an emergency drill so Captain Smith and other officers knew there would be chaos.8

It was a clear and cold night. The temperature that night was slowly dropping.

The third class passengers were having fun enjoying dances and Irish music provided by themselves. Titanic's wireless room was receiving many iceberg warnings that day, but even more came that night. At one point Officer Jack Phillips told the officers on the other line to shut up. The temperature was said to be thirty one degrees Fahrenheit. Many said it smelled like ice. That could only mean one thing .... icebergs were close. "To make matters worse the look out station was without binoculars."5

After many passengers had noticed the water flooding third class, they ran up to the deck. The lifeboats were then being loaded. "Women and children first", the officers shouted. Passengers soon realized the dream ship, Titanic, was not going to survive the damage from the iceberg.13

The steamer Carpathia knew about Titanic's wreck and was traveling fast to get to their rescue. "The last they had heard from the Titanic was 'Engine room is flooding', so they did not know what to expect."22 At about 5:00 am., lifeboats noticed small lights heading towards them. It was Carpathia coming to their rescue.
