The British Inquiry Report noted that the Titanic was in compliance with the American immigration law in force at the time - and that allegations that third class passengers were locked below decks were false.

First-class travel on Titanic. The first-class public rooms included a dining saloon, reception room, restaurant, lounge, reading and writing room, smoking room and the veranda cafes and palm courts. First-class passengers also had the Lounge, a luxurious room on the Promenade (A) deck meant for socializing.
After the Titanic sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, hundreds of the survivors, families of victims, and owners of cargo filed claims against the White Star Line for loss of life, property, and for injuries sustained. Their claims totaled $16.4 million.
Today, that $85 million is equivalent to $2.3 billion. Tragically, on April 15, 1912, Astor was among the 1,517 people who did not survive the sinking of the Titanic after it struck an iceberg. Take a step back and think about how insane this would be if it happened today.
There are signs Rose was not a virgin in 'Titanic'However, there were more societal expectations attached to virginity in 1912. Later in the scene, Cal yells at Rose for spending time with Jack and tells her that by being engaged, she is expected to act as his wife.
The four parlor suites (located on B - Deck) on the Titanic were the most expensive accommodation aboard.
New Titanic Expedition Faces Opposition Over Possible Human Remains. People have been diving down to the Titanic's wreckage for around 35 years. But so far, no one has found human remains, the company that owns rights to the wreckage says.
31.6% – the percentage of people aboard (passengers and crew) who survived the sinking. 53.4% – the total percentage who could have survived, given the number of spaces available on the lifeboats.
It is believed that upwards of 1500 people died in the sinking of the Titanic. However, amongst the survivors was the ship's head baker Charles Joughin. Joughin proceeded to tread water for about two hours before encountering a lifeboat, and eventually being rescued by the RMS Carpathia.
The last meal eaten by second-class passengersGuests, blithely oblivious to the tragedy about to occur, consumed plum pudding (pictured), wine jelly, 'cocoanut sandwich', American ice cream, assorted nuts, fruits, cheese and biscuits, and coffee for dessert.
The ship had a whole area on the aft port side called the “refrigeration plant”, that supplied the cooling for separate refrigerated rooms for meats (and each kind of meat, including game, had its own separate room), flowers, wines, cheeses, fish, etc., so that each item could be stored at the right temperature for it.
Who travelled on Titanic? First class passengers were some of the richest and most important people of the time. They included businessmen like John Jacob Astor IV and Benjamin Guggenheim, as well as members of the upper classes and even sportsmen.
