According to some Titanic historians, 2nd Class passengers were invited into 1st Class if a 1st Class passenger knew of someone travelling 2nd Class. There was evidence of a 2nd Class male who spent a large time in the 1st Class Smoking Room playing cards with a 1st Class passenger he knew. So the barriers between 1st and 2nd class was weak compared to the barriers with 3rd class.

The requirement for strict segregation of third class passengers was at the insistence of the US Immigration. As is noted in the video, 1st and 2nd Class passengers did not have to undergo medical examination on arrival in New York and the immigration authorities did not want these people to have unnecessasary contact with third class passengers who might have an infectious disease (and who would be subsequently denied entry on health grounds to the US). Covid passports aren't really anything new!

So true, 1st class and 3rd class always gets attention but 2nd class doesn't probably because the 1st class is the main class it has the most luxurious cabins and accomodations such as dining saloon, reception room, grand staircase, lounge, reading and writing room, cafe parisen, smoking room, etc. 3rd class also gets the attention because most of its passengers are irish, they have interesting culture at music,etc. and also because most 3rd class got trapped in gates while Titanic was rapidly flooding, and also because the famous "Scotland Road" were used by many 3rd class passengers. Also, one of the main reasons why they get attention is because of the 1997 Titanic movie, rose was 1st class and jack was 3rd class. But i agree with you 2nd class also deserves to get attention

it is important to note that life boat boarding was not consistent on both sides of the ship, so you may have made it out alive. One side was boarding all passengers 1st and 2nd class while the other did women and children first. You didn't want to be a 3rd class peasant though.

Actually, most of us would be in third class. The lowest, lowest-paid people would never ever be able to purchase a Titanic ticket. You must not forget that one ticket would be easily 1000-2000 $ (today money second class) for a couple days. Also most of the money back then was divided only into two-class, you either have money or don't. Most people in the third class gave everything, they have for the journey. It is the same like nowadays in airplanes. Which class do you buy on the plane?

By percentage, the 2nd class men had most of the fatalities. Of course, among all the heated arguments over which class was treated the best/worst, everyone forgets that the largest group to die was the crew - all those trimmers, firemen, engineers, cooks, waiters, stewards...

A small detail not covered is that while in first class you would book a stateroom and pay for the number of people in your party; In the 2nd and 3rd classes you were booking your berth (or bunk). Thus if you were traveling solo there was a good chance you would be sharing your cabin with a roommate.

True although 2nd class cabins were not as cramped with bunk beds in the way 3rd class was. You'd usually have one nice sturdy set of bunks, with a sofa/couch on the other side of the room, plus a fairly nice wash basin in the middle. I also heard that if there were not enough 2nd class passengers booking a sailing, they would actually sell 2nd class staterooms as lower end 1st class based on occupancy.

LOL You raise some good points re the survival rate of the men of all classes and 2nd class bearing the worst case. Very true, the second class gentlemen had the Edwardian etiquette but not necessarily the "wealth and stature" to get into a boat. I've always been really intrigued by the 2nd class on the Olympic class; the dining saloon could seat 564 passengers and yet, they only had two lounges, one of which ladies couldn't use until post WWI. Where did they sit during the day? What did they do? Also the second class promadade space is very limited and the two entranceways to the dining saloon are small (both off the stairwells) so, I often wonder how/where they queued for dinner. In my view, the GREAT CRIME of the TITANIC is that 300 seats in the boats went away half empty. The first and Second officers knew the lifeboat capacity was 1200 ppl, the ship carried 2200 .. yet they allowed them to be lowered with 300 EMPTY seats! CRIMINAL!

Of all the classes of people on Titanic, Second Class male passengers suffered the second highest mortality rates aa a proportion of the total number after male waiters and cabin stewards. I believe that this was because the second class British men abided by the social norms of their time, knew their place and did not seek to save themselves by taking places in lifeboats.

Excellent topic. I am so glad someone is covering this often overlooked portion of the Olympic Class liners.

The second class always interested me and was never talked about, thank you for this video!

Second class travel was upmarket and similar to what is now business class on aircraft. The majority of passengers were of course, third class (equivalent to tourist in an aircraft) and for many of those this would have been considered luxurious compared to the life and homes they had left.

Similar to Esther Hart,Andrea Doria survivor Lilliana Dooner had premonitions about being on a rescue ship,the Cape Ann,before the collision.

After reading the second class Dinner menu . Some roast spuds with green peas / turnip topped of with spring lamb Finished of with some fresh fruit . Would be fantastic right now .

6:44 '... being off-limit...' Jack: 😏

I have worked on the SS Rotterdam,( 1959) and all dining room chairs have a large metal hook under the seat to tie them down to the dining room floor in case of rough weather. ( thick elastic rubber bands were used in order to keep them in place and safe for the one using it while remain somewhat flexible) And all furniture is "ridiculously" heavy. And a large number of it was bolted to the floor.

Thank you for this! I've always been interested in Titanic's Second Class precisely because, as you've stated, the emphasis has generally been on First and Third. And, like many other viewers, I'd have gone Second Class if I were on Titanic. Probably many Second-Class passengers would have traveled First on other, less expensive, ships. What also intrigues me is the fact that some of these passengers would have been more educated and cultured than some of those in First. They'd have included professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, academics, and engineers--what we today would consider white-collar, upper-middle-class professions. Neither the British and the American upper classes placed great value on education in the humanities and sciences, and they wouldn't have needed professions because they didn't need to work. Probably Second Class was where you'd experience the more interesting conversations. I also remember reading somewhere that, of all the passenger categories on board, the one with the highest per capita mortality rate was Second-Class men.

Sadly the boring things in life end up getting forgotten. We remember first class for the opulence and luxury, and third class for representing the plight of society’s poorest looking for a new life. First and third are easy to contrast because of how polarized they are. But second class is ‘everyone else’. They aren’t masters of the universe, nor are they someone looking for a better life. They’re the ordinary people.

Love the ship animation, Red lines ect.

14:40 - 2nd Class Dinner would have been a three course meal, typical to what is served in modern restaurants. The starter was always a soup based dish. The main course had a lot of choice, from fish to lamb to curried chicken etc, which would be served the vegetables. Desert course and then after dinner coffee with fruits, nuts was served. So in a way, a scaled down version of 1st Class dinner.

It has come to light recently that the senior Mrs Hart greatly sensationalized her premonitions to the press and Ava Hart , being so young probably reiterated her story. Letters written by the Senior Mrs Hart sent out from Titanic while in Ireland paints a very different picture. In these letters , Mrs Hart never mentions any ominous foreboding tale and instead marvels at the ship and how she was enjoying her days. She had not in fact spend her days asleep and nights awake. This all came into a podcast discussing with famous Titanic historian Don Lynch , and the team from Honor and glory. But , May I say, well done on this video ! Second class is often of ignored , and being a huge a Titanic buff myself , I’m often impressed when learning something new which you have done with the 1st and 2nd interchangeable rooms. I assume that father Browns was a upgraded 2nd ? That would make more sense to me due to the class differences. Captain smith himself was of middle class.

Wow, well researched!!

Titanic was certainly luxurious for its time, but the Olympic class in general could feel quite Claustrophic at times, with fairly low ceilings. The Lusitania and Mauretania had sought to get past that problem by use of sky lights and, in Lusitania's case, a lighter colour scheme which made it feel more spacious. It wasn't until the Imperator class that the problem was solved. The uptakes to the funnels were split, allowing rooms of much bigger size.

Great vdo. Everyone always talks about the First and the Third class but the 2nd class was often ignored incl the film Titanic. Thanks for showing us the 2nd Class life.

Great video; very informative.

Thank you for going over my favorite class, it needs more attention. It is perfect accomodation for a fellow like me

Some passenger liners were designed with four classes. The Willem Ruys, for example, originally had four classes. Later, when acquired by Flotta Lauro, as the Achille Lauro, second, third and fourth classes were amalgamated into a single Tourist Class. I travelled on the Achille Lauro in 1967, in what had been, originally, a fourth class cabin. Of course all of the public rooms of Tourist Class were available.

Been a member of Fox Star Line since he started it. Great group of people!

Very well done!

Somehow till today, the middle class is always the one left out on everything.

Honestly, I would rather 2nd class than 1st class because I just feel more comfortable as your not high or low. you’ve probably once had this felling.

If I were in Titanic I'd probably travel third class. This is because the third-class tickets were incredibly cheap and even so, Titanic's third class was comfortable even by modern standards. Every passenger had his own berth, the quarters were clean, and the meals hearty, plentiful, and actually pretty tasty. Titanic even had open deck space for third class, which wasn't common in ships at the time.

Thanks for the great content! I've been noticing a lot of airlines adopting a similar allocation of three classes of accommodation - business class, a premium economy class that is actually comfortable, and economy class - with the fewest seats given to the premium economy, or "second" class. I think this goes to show that a true social middle class in the modern Western world is vanishing and we really have regressed to a Robber Baron economy like that at the turn of the 20th century.
