Of course, the elite will take the Titanic option, drop the lifeboats for themselves, and lock the poor below deck.

"There’s no arguing with the statistics. Of the female first-class passengers, 97 percent survived, as opposed to 46 percent of the women in third class. All except one of the children travelling <sic> first and second class survived, compared to only 33 of the 84 children in third class. And only 16 percent of third-class male passengers survived, which was just under half the rate for men in first class."

To avoid the spread of disease1, the owners of the Titanic were obliged, throughout the voyage, to deny third-class passengers access to the upper decks. In some areas, locked gates were used; elsewhere, a sailor was stationed at a moveable barrier. All it took to “impede” the third-class passengers was for the normal restrictions to remain in place.

1 Da*m, filthy Irish - (my comment) - some of my family came from Ireland - nice excuse that doesn't hold out water (excuse the pun)

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones
There is water underground
