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. -Rough Guide to The Titanic Written by Greg Ward 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) Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Same as it ever was...Water dissolving...and water removingThere is water at the bottom of the oceanUnder the water, carry the water at the bottom of the oceanRemove the water at the bottom of the oceanLetting the days go byLet the water hold me downLetting the days go byWater flowing undergroundInto the blue againInto the silent waterUnder the rocks and stonesThere is water underground - Once in a Lifetime Talking Heads Written by David Byrne, Brian Eno, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, and Tina Weymouth
