@starmanskye Lundahl told a friend of his who survived: "I'm too tired to fight the North Atlantic" and sat down waiting for the end. International law required isolation of 3rd Class on all passenger ships, not just White Star's, to contain disease, lice, etc. So, yes, there was discrimination, but it was of a kind less indictable to White Star than to the whole of humanity in 1912. It is true that those people were looked down upon--3rd Class was basically neglected to death on Titanic.

@starmanskye Actually it wasn't White Star policy to deliberately prevent 3rd Class from reaching the Boat Deck, rather it was no policy at all. Some gates were locked; some weren't. Some crewmen helped 3rd class up to the boats, some held them back. Seaman Hart led several groups of steerage women to the boats. Some steerage men didn't even try to go up; they just stayed below waiting for the end; passenger John Lundahl was one of those.

WoW -- I don't think I ever realized before that the lower three 3rd class decks were already below-water before the first lifeboats were launched -- AND that the primary access passages were closed with locked-gates. Meaning it was White Star POLICY that condemned hundreds of steerage passengers to death by drowning with NO hope of chance to be saved, or even a chance to save themselves. They were murdered. Class War at its most blatant, barbaric & brutal. R.I.P. the English inqest was a FARCE.
