Deep within Titanic's lowest decks lies the Third Class corridor network where approximately 710 steerage passengers faced 5-6 locked iron gates blocking evacuation routes. Third Class passengers from 30+ European countries purchased cheapest tickets (£7-£8) and lived in severe overcrowding: 6-8 people sharing 80-square-foot cabins with triple bunks, narrow 4-foot corridors with 7-foot ceilings. White Star Line installed systematic barriers: cast iron gates with chains, padlocks, and warning signs reading "THIRD CLASS PASSENGERS NOT ALLOWED BEYOND THIS POINT." Gate 5 blocked the direct boat deck stairwell. April 14, 1912, when disaster struck at 11:40 PM, all gates remained locked. Evidence shows desperate escape attempts: gate key dropped 3 feet from locked barrier, broken chain link proving forced opening attempt, steward badge proving crew tried to help. Skeletal remains document deaths: complete skeleton at locked gate with hands reaching toward bars, complete skeleton at stairwell with hands on first step attempting climb, complete skeleton lying flat proving collapsed, complete skeleton seated proving exhausted. Personal possessions scattered throughout: European immigration papers, family letters, Catholic rosaries, wedding rings, work boots—all abandoned during panic. Approximately 536 Third Class passengers died (75% death rate) compared to First Class 62% survival rate. The locked gates directly contributed to deaths, creating architectural death trap where class determined survival. 🚪⚓
