In the end, that was the best option anyway! No matter how much money these people had, in the end it didn't matter because many of them ended up paying the ultimate price.
Not really. A lot of times the whole family would save up to send one person over at a time, because there was more work and better pay in America. Then they could send money back home to help get the next family member over.
I would just like to clarify that it was for a 7 day trip. So it would be around $115-$158 a night which really isn’t that bad compared to today’s hotel rates.
third class passengers were basically left for dead as there were not enough boats to fit all passengers. The gates to their decks were locked and most of them had drowned before the boat was even fully under.
@Que Coo Unless you do one of those underwater hotels, then the risk goes above .00000%. Even .000001% chance of drowning after spending all the money is going to be a big fuck no from me at least lol. Drowning is one of the worst ways to go out, no way in hell I’m spending $200 or more a night, just to die in such a miserable way. I’ll stay on a landlocked piece of land, where I’m safe from such events.
Nah ! That ticket is cheaper than an iphone , you can easily afford it , it's because ppl back then didn't spend their money on stupid s**" like we do today , no iphone , no airpods , no Netflix , no Comcast , no Starbucks, No Jordans ect .. add all that nonsense up and you'll see you actually have enough money , did you know that ppl back then typically only had like 3 pants and one pair of shoes ? How many pants or shoes do you have ? , Like I said ppl were more simple and didn't blow their money like we do ..

yeah a lot of people saying third class passengers were richer than them, as if they weren't using every bit of their (and probably their family's) money and possessions for the trip
Also many third class families would have pooled all their money together for one person to travel. The intention was for them to set up in the States and the rest of family go over as money from new job allowed
It's just the typical "I refuse to believe we don't live in the worst time ever" person.

Here I was thinking I could've gone on first class and stick it to all those arrogant bastards. But now all I can hear is Rose's mother saying, "Tell us of the accommodations of steerage. I hear they are quite good on this ship" 😭
There are a few misconceptions regarding third class aboard Titanic. On older ships, there were only two classes: saloon (private cabin class) and steerage (open dormitories). By Titanic's time, this changed a bit, but many ships still offered only steerage to the poorest passengers. The original Olympic class design included steerage spaces, but when Titanic was completed, she carried only private cabins. Olympic may have had steerage, but it's hard to find accurate deckplans of her as she's overshadowed by Titanic. Third class was actually very nice, compared to other, older ships. Their spaces were clean and large, and they had lots of open deck space outside. They had cabin stewards, translators, and were served full course meals. They even had electricity, running water, flushing toilets, and access to baths. Because of the iron gate myths, people nowadays often think third class passengers on Titanic were treated poorly, but this isn't true. Those gates never existed, and they were treated very well. Most passengers in third class did not survive the ship's sinking, but for reasons other than what's commonly believed. The main reasons being their distance from the boats, unfamiliarity with the boat deck, unfamiliarity with first class, lack of external stairs to the boat deck, translation issues, fatigue and confusion, and lack of time. Just like in first class and with the crew, many in third class were not aware the ship was sinking until it was much too late. By the point they realised the severity of the situation, there was too little time to do much of anything but wander around, aimlessly trying to get to the upper decks. Some were led up through the emergency doors, but if one had gone to the stern deck, they might not have had enough time to make their way to the boat deck before the ship's final plunge.
Underrated comment! I spent 26 years believing the 3rd class were purposely locked in order to allow 1st class to get in the boats first. I looked it up to confirm and your right! Thanks for teaching me that!
@ketaminepoptarts4740 The ship wasn't devoid of signage, but you still had to know where you were going.

Actually, £20 is the equivalent of around 1k. But yeah, seems silly, doesn't it. Same with Cal, he seemed to also think that a dinner with them was better than a grand! Rose was the only one who thought a grand wasn't even enough for saving her life!
@@YasmineSkyKD i'm not linking it with titanic? I said that "ain't" is the same damn contraction as "isn't" jesus fucking christ, literally search "ain't meaning". it means the same damn f*****g thing.
Fun fact: Cal from Titanic had the private promenade which was equal to $138,000. His character was filthy rich and was intended to be the 2nd richest man on the ship, behind John Jacob Astor.
It was a 7-day trip going to America. And to many of the passengers it was wanting to start a life in a new country - they probably saved up for it and the poorer people sold their belongings just to get in.
My grandparents were meant to go first class but all tickets sold out so they brought tickets for the second voyage. Im glad they missed out now, my heart goes out to every passenger that was left behind and drowned, specially the third class people, my heart remains with them. The whole Titanic thing really brought home humility to my upperclass snobby grandparents.....
This is incredibly insightful. I always heard about the “poor” people in third class who weren’t able to escape because they were in the least-desirable part of the ship and I always wondered why they even wanted to board the doomed ship at all, knowing they’d be in the “worst / least-safe” rooms..... This vid was a shocking reality check for me when I realized the third-class rooms are equivalent to $1,000+ today. What I’m now hearing, is: “third-class is for the rich, second-class for the _super_ rich, and first-class for the _ultra mega_ rich.”
They probably sold all their belongings to board that ship, I think that’s how. They wanted to find new opportunities in another country but yeah but little did they know it would be their first and last ride😭,RIP🙏
@@phelan. I bet you’re exactly right. It’s so tragic. It’s just horrible: giving up everything you have for an insanely expensive ticket on a ship that you think is headed for a better life for you and your family but is, in actuality, headed for your death. 😩
My grandma went to Titanic and then had a premonition so kept screaming “Don’t get on that ship! Don’t get on that ship!” until security asked her to leave the cinema.
I don’t know how close he was with Jack. If they were good friends, he may have had mixed feelings and survivors’ guilt. Imagine the mix of relief and devastation. I haven’t seen the movie in years and I can’t remember if Jack knew they guy he beat in poker or not.
@@AngelaMastrodonatoI mean he and Jack may or may not have been close, but he likely did lose someone he did know. The other 2 guys in the cabin when Jack introduced himself asks “Where’s Sven?”
She wasn’t really. I think her father died and had more debt then her Mom realized, not leaving much of an inheritance, thus the pressure for Rose to marry Cal to maintain their lifestyle. I remember the line from Rose’s mother, when Rose expressed reluctance to marry Cal: “Do you expect me to work as a seamstress?” Oh the horrors. I envy people with those skills.
Rose was broke as her mother. She was forcibly getting Rose to marry Cal to bring money back into the family when her dad died and left them bankrupt 🏦
This is a pretty good example of natural inflation, it's crazy to think about how much the dollar has depreciated over the years but also you can get a decent cruise for around five hundred dollars now a days
So Lovejoy basically said to Jack "I'll pay you £2,400 to fuck off" and Jack said no even though that was 3 times the face value of the ticket he couldn't afford but won in a game of poker.
If my parents could have afforded 1st class they would have been content with 2nd; if they could have afforded 2nd, they would have been content with 3rd; if they could have afforded 3rd, they would have stayed home unless it was to relocate for a higher paying job, and not just for a vacation
@@AngelaMastrodonato3rd class passengers didn't travel for vacation but to immigrate to the US, they could buy the tickets because a lot of them sold most of their belongings for this trip 💀. It was not like 2nd and 1st class whose travellers were going on business trips or vacations.
My great aunt and uncle were on that ship. They both survived. Passed about 15 years ago. I never did ask them about what happened although I was really curious about it at the time. Just didn't want to bring back bad memories for them.
Have you made a video on people who were meant to go on the titanic but ended up not going? For example, the man who made the Biltmore Estate and his wife and daughter were meant to go with him but for some reason none of them ever went.
Then you wouldn’t be able to afford it back then since you would be making even less than you are today. So you might have made 100$ a month back then and that would have to go to rent etc.
My great grandmother was meant to be on the titanic (she would’ve been second class) but luckily the paper work got muddled up and some important documents were lost so the weren’t allocated to board! Im so glad they didn’t get on the boat✌🏻
My grandmother came to the US from Scotland in 1912. She, her sister and mother originally had tickets for Titanics maiden voyage however, plans changed when her sister ( my great aunt) got sick and needed some special medication. They were forced to sell their tickets to travel on the Titanic to pay for the medicine and with the money left over bought tickets to a ship called the Carpethia which was referred to as a cattle ship. When I was young I used to sit with my grandmother and watch older movies and one in particular was called A Night To Remember, a 1957 or 58 movie about the Titanics tragic maiden voyage. Over a few years we watched that movie maybe 4 or 5 times and each time she would point out that she came to the US on the Carpethia when the ship appeared towards the end of the movie. She never said she was on the ship when it picked up Titanic survivors but I had an aunt (her daughter) who claimed that my grandmother was on the Carpethia at the time it rescued survivors. My mother really didn't believe that to be true because my grandmother never claimed she was on the ship at that time. A few years ago I found evidence that proved that my grandmother couldn't have been on the Carpethia the same time it rescued survivors. By chance I came across a book that focused on the response from other ships when Titanics first SOS messages were sent, the radio operator was a central subject of the book. There was a section about the Carpethias involvement in the Titanic tragedy and the first couple of paragraphs were evidence that my grandmother wasn't on the Carpethia when it rescued survivors. The Carpethia went back and fourth across the Atlantic Ocean, left England with a stop in Ireland and another in Italy before heading out to it's final destination, NYC, then back across the pond and do it all over again. That's all it did was go back and forth between England and NYC. When Carpethia was notified of Titanics distress calls it was on its way BACK to England from NYC so my grandmother couldn't have been on it at the time it responded to Titanics distress calls. She may have been on it when it left England a few days earlier and was in NYC when it departed for its return trip or its next trip to NYC but she couldn't have been on when Carpethia responded to Titanics distress calls. She either was already in NYC or waiting in England for its next trip across the pond. It's not the information my aunt wanted to hear because she hated being proven wrong . But it's still an interesting story and now I tell people that if it wasn't for my great aunt getting sick I most likely wouldn't be here because they had the cheapest tickets for Titanic which I believe was labeled "steerage " and most likely would have drowned.
Remember that the tickets were for a week of travel on the titanic, not to mention food was included. They were most prob on the cruise to immigrate to the US, and saved up the money for it.
The avarage Joe will make around £1600 on minimum wage in a month so year basically a month's wages. Not that bad if you have savings so your not left with nothing
only in a movie. 3rd class was where the White Star Line made a large part of its money, they had a financial interest in treating them well. Please stop thinking movies are real life
Bruh they were getting treated better than you. They had plumbing, electricity, full meals, translators if they needed them, for 7 days, all for $1.2k in today’s money.
That's a big fat misconception. 3rd class passengers were treated really well. Full course meals, electricity, water and everything you could need to enjoy yourself in luxury.
Guys I recommend the 4th class more. It's your own house. Its a nice place with all your needs including food, stoves, bathrooms and dining areas. You may decorate them however you like. You can go outside and look out safely at the birds and sky. For free

When the poorest class is 1000 dollars more than you have 💀
Inflation, bro. Besides, today's third class cabins won't have a toilet without walls
To be fair, they didn’t just wake up one day and buy a ticket. They probably saved up for a while to get one
@@tiggerpup_nzIt was the equivalent of about 10 months wages.
"Could you afford-"
No. I cant even afford the mentos at the grocery shop counter
But yet you have a phone
Man is officially claimed legend
Even I can't afford Häagen-Dazs or trident all the time
i wouldn’t even be 3rd class💀💀
Boiler room accommodation 😅
I would have been third class then. And I’m still third class now. Nice to know things never change.
Not really even with minimum wage you could have saved up a few months and maybe even second class
I could afford to be a stowaway 🤷♀️
I could afford to be part of the crew Bc obviously I need to work more
“Would you be able to-“
No. I would not.
This is incredibly insightful. I always heard about the “poor” people in third class who weren’t able to escape because they were in the least-desirable part of the ship and I always wondered why they even wanted to board the doomed ship at all, knowing they’d be in the “worst / least-safe” rooms..... This vid was a shocking reality check for me when I realized the third-class rooms are equivalent to $1,000+ today. What I’m now hearing, is: “third-class is for the rich, second-class for the _super_ rich, and first-class for the _ultra mega_ rich.”
They probably sold all their belongings to board that ship, I think that’s how. They wanted to find new opportunities in another country but yeah but little did they know it would be their first and last ride😭,RIP🙏
@@phelan. I bet you’re exactly right. It’s so tragic. It’s just horrible: giving up everything you have for an insanely expensive ticket on a ship that you think is headed for a better life for you and your family but is, in actuality, headed for your death. 😩
Cruise ships are still this way. Cheapest tickets are on the bottom
On a sidenote..it is pretty eerie that they essentially paid to die.💔
They paid a fortune to die on the most famous ship in history
Well it's not like they knew they were going to die. Just like someone taking a plane and it crashing
Seeing the numbers for the first class shows how wealthy Roses fiance was. Cause I never thought it was 100k for that
This is one of those moments when no is the right answer
My Disney cruise cost 3k for 1 child and 1 adult for 3 nights. Those prices are good. Titanic was traveling all the way to NY.
Probably not all-expenses-paid either
My son is 8 and loves the movie Titanic. He asked me “if we had been on the ship, would we have survived?”….uh, most likely not son. No.
why not?
@@samanthasmith61 have u not seen the prices
I would not be able to even get on the ship 💀💀
😂😂😂
@@Candy-wm4ncare you really that poor
My freinds grandma almost went on the Titanic luckily she changed her mind and saved the lives ahead of her
My grandmother as well Sold her ticket She said claiming to be unsinkable was spitting in the eyes of God 😉
@@wolveslair766 I guess god thought so too
I can never tell if people are just lying for likes or are actually telling the truth
My grandma went to Titanic and then had a premonition so kept screaming “Don’t get on that ship! Don’t get on that ship!” until security asked her to leave the cinema.
I wonder what that guy that lost that poker hand did when he found out about the Titanic sinking. He probably was the happiest person in the world.
I don’t know how close he was with Jack. If they were good friends, he may have had mixed feelings and survivors’ guilt. Imagine the mix of relief and devastation. I haven’t seen the movie in years and I can’t remember if Jack knew they guy he beat in poker or not.
It's fiction
He must have been recovering from the punch the other dude gave him and hungover as fuck thanking god he lost that hand of cards…
@@AngelaMastrodonatoI mean he and Jack may or may not have been close, but he likely did lose someone he did know. The other 2 guys in the cabin when Jack introduced himself asks “Where’s Sven?”
@@destro5451it is, but it is not far from reality. Stuff like that happened for sure.
My jaw dropped at the parlor suite price. Rose was rich AF.
Technically it was Cal 😉
She wasn’t really. I think her father died and had more debt then her Mom realized, not leaving much of an inheritance, thus the pressure for Rose to marry Cal to maintain their lifestyle. I remember the line from Rose’s mother, when Rose expressed reluctance to marry Cal: “Do you expect me to work as a seamstress?” Oh the horrors. I envy people with those skills.
Rose was broke as her mother. She was forcibly getting Rose to marry Cal to bring money back into the family when her dad died and left them bankrupt 🏦
That was in 1912
@@AngelaMastrodonatoso I guess she did end up working as a seamstress
POV: u can’t even afford third class😭
This is one trip I'm glad I couldn't afford!😂
This is a pretty good example of natural inflation, it's crazy to think about how much the dollar has depreciated over the years but also you can get a decent cruise for around five hundred dollars now a days
Damn so Jack won a ton of money actually on that poker hand
So Lovejoy basically said to Jack "I'll pay you £2,400 to fuck off" and Jack said no even though that was 3 times the face value of the ticket he couldn't afford but won in a game of poker.
He didn’t know Rose was broke
No the answer is no, I would’ve been waving from the shore
me:not affording a ticket
me when i find out the Titanic sinked:😎
Bruh the poor on Titanic were richer than me 💀
I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD THE FKIN 3RD CLASS
Same 💀
Damn so Jack was borderline homeless but was worth more than my rent.💀
Didn’t he sneak on the ship?
@@HHHPedigrees he won a lottery
@@furandushi1883he won a game
Imagine paying $1,110 to be treated like a second rate citizen with rats on your deck
I can't even afford to wave them goodbye my guy 😭🖐️
my parents could’ve afforded first class but they’re so cheap they would’ve gone third 💀
That's why they can afford first.
If my parents could have afforded 1st class they would have been content with 2nd; if they could have afforded 2nd, they would have been content with 3rd; if they could have afforded 3rd, they would have stayed home unless it was to relocate for a higher paying job, and not just for a vacation
@@AngelaMastrodonato3rd class passengers didn't travel for vacation but to immigrate to the US, they could buy the tickets because a lot of them sold most of their belongings for this trip 💀. It was not like 2nd and 1st class whose travellers were going on business trips or vacations.
@@someperson9999 fair
Pretty sure everyone could afford first class but people have better thingd to spend money on
When he says d “could you afford to go on the titanic” I said no
Unless you get a job onboard the ship
I just got called poor in 1912.
My great aunt and uncle were on that ship. They both survived. Passed about 15 years ago. I never did ask them about what happened although I was really curious about it at the time. Just didn't want to bring back bad memories for them.
it's a shame. you didn't ask them.
they mostly said there was no iceberg.
only explotions
The math isn't mathing tho.
The last male survivor, Michel Navratil, died in 2001...
Oml thank u for actually includeing GBP!! Im so tired of translateing it from dollars on google😭
I would've just won my ticket like Jack did.
It’s safe to say I would of lived 😂 Jacks class was even to much for me 😂
Awesome. I'm going to go sleep in the boiler room. I might be able to afford that
Honestly those are really good prices for a cruise would love to have had the chance but looks like I'm a little late or I would have went no doubt
If I went on that cruise, I would have instantly regretted it once I found out that it sunken 😩
It was not a goddamn cruise tho. It was a regular transport. Even rich people didnt go on ships for fun
@@soniquecat4745thank you finally someone knows it's an ocean liner.
Have you made a video on people who were meant to go on the titanic but ended up not going? For example, the man who made the Biltmore Estate and his wife and daughter were meant to go with him but for some reason none of them ever went.
I'm pretty sure in the movie rose and her group had one of those parlor rooms so she was set to marry into some extreme money lol
fun fact: when Titanic 2 is out (a remake of the R.M.S. Titanic) the most expensive ticket would be around 928.000$.
When a ticket cost more than your house💀
I could afford first class cabin back then but todays money hell to nahhh I would be in third class with todays money
Then you wouldn’t be able to afford it back then since you would be making even less than you are today. So you might have made 100$ a month back then and that would have to go to rent etc.
This comment pains me
My great grandmother was meant to be on the titanic (she would’ve been second class) but luckily the paper work got muddled up and some important documents were lost so the weren’t allocated to board! Im so glad they didn’t get on the boat✌🏻
My grandmother came to the US from Scotland in 1912. She, her sister and mother originally had tickets for Titanics maiden voyage however, plans changed when her sister ( my great aunt) got sick and needed some special medication. They were forced to sell their tickets to travel on the Titanic to pay for the medicine and with the money left over bought tickets to a ship called the Carpethia which was referred to as a cattle ship. When I was young I used to sit with my grandmother and watch older movies and one in particular was called A Night To Remember, a 1957 or 58 movie about the Titanics tragic maiden voyage. Over a few years we watched that movie maybe 4 or 5 times and each time she would point out that she came to the US on the Carpethia when the ship appeared towards the end of the movie. She never said she was on the ship when it picked up Titanic survivors but I had an aunt (her daughter) who claimed that my grandmother was on the Carpethia at the time it rescued survivors. My mother really didn't believe that to be true because my grandmother never claimed she was on the ship at that time. A few years ago I found evidence that proved that my grandmother couldn't have been on the Carpethia the same time it rescued survivors. By chance I came across a book that focused on the response from other ships when Titanics first SOS messages were sent, the radio operator was a central subject of the book. There was a section about the Carpethias involvement in the Titanic tragedy and the first couple of paragraphs were evidence that my grandmother wasn't on the Carpethia when it rescued survivors. The Carpethia went back and fourth across the Atlantic Ocean, left England with a stop in Ireland and another in Italy before heading out to it's final destination, NYC, then back across the pond and do it all over again. That's all it did was go back and forth between England and NYC. When Carpethia was notified of Titanics distress calls it was on its way BACK to England from NYC so my grandmother couldn't have been on it at the time it responded to Titanics distress calls. She may have been on it when it left England a few days earlier and was in NYC when it departed for its return trip or its next trip to NYC but she couldn't have been on when Carpethia responded to Titanics distress calls. She either was already in NYC or waiting in England for its next trip across the pond. It's not the information my aunt wanted to hear because she hated being proven wrong . But it's still an interesting story and now I tell people that if it wasn't for my great aunt getting sick I most likely wouldn't be here because they had the cheapest tickets for Titanic which I believe was labeled "steerage " and most likely would have drowned.
Very interesting story! Thanks for sharing!
Are you sure it went to Italy after leaving Ireland? That seems to be a very odd and long detour.
steerage had been abolished by that point, it was actually less than 3rd class, around 1900 steerage was actually sometimes called 4th class
the guy: could u afford to on the titanic
me: no, im scared of boats
Remember that the tickets were for a week of travel on the titanic, not to mention food was included. They were most prob on the cruise to immigrate to the US, and saved up the money for it.
Looks like I'll be shoveling coal to earn my keep 😅
On the third class when u said it was 34$ I was like heck yeah 😂
damn that’s more than I thought it would’ve been, and they paid to die
I could be second class back then and still second class
Wowww
I'm black so I couldn't even get on
@@zayloe999 😭😭😭
Now we begin to understand why Jack got so ecstatic on winning the tickets, and Sven getting all ballistic? It's basically one years salary.
Damn when I was 12 I could of had second class and almost first💀
2nd class is literally my monthly pay 💀
The avarage Joe will make around £1600 on minimum wage in a month so year basically a month's wages. Not that bad if you have savings so your not left with nothing
I could just about afford the 2nd class cabin if I used all my savings lol
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Me when I saw the prices:💀💀💀💀
Damn the boat looks fun I wish I could have went on it 😔
Seeing if you could survive the sinking would have been a fun experience of a lifetime!
Welp, guess I wouldn't have ever gone on the Titanic lmfao
I mean third class is basically the same cost as an international flight in coach so yeah I could have but I hate the water so I wouldn’t have
I wonder if that price is per person or per room.
Per person, it came with the food as well
Well it safe to say I wouldn't of ever been able to step foot on that boat lmao 🤣
Imagine pay 1.1k to be on this ship and then end up being treated like complete sh!t and you were the ones they let drown in the end.
only in a movie. 3rd class was where the White Star Line made a large part of its money, they had a financial interest in treating them well. Please stop thinking movies are real life
@@evocati6523 ur right I’m stupid
Bruh they were getting treated better than you. They had plumbing, electricity, full meals, translators if they needed them, for 7 days, all for $1.2k in today’s money.
That's a big fat misconception. 3rd class passengers were treated really well. Full course meals, electricity, water and everything you could need to enjoy yourself in luxury.
How does it jump from “oh i could afford that it’s 5k not too bad” to “wtf whos gonna buy that” 💀
Guys I recommend the 4th class more. It's your own house. Its a nice place with all your needs including food, stoves, bathrooms and dining areas. You may decorate them however you like. You can go outside and look out safely at the birds and sky. For free
And you don’t sink
They are all history class now...
I can’t even afford to pay attention 😂😂
❤
Thank you for this vlog.
The 5 billionaires really spent 250k for a small submarine and first class only costed max 138k on the actual titanic 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Yea i would of died third class that day 😬
