Second & Third Class Passengers
 Second Class passengers included
the British school teacher Lawrence Beesley, who would later write a telling account of the events surrounding Titanic's sinking.
Beesley kept attentive mental and written notes during the voyage.
 Also in Second Class were Benjamin and Esther Hart, along with their daughter, Eva.
Mrs. Hart however was quite uneasy about having to travel on the Titanic. So strong was her premonition of misfortune that
she refused to sleep during the night. Had she been sleeping when Titanic struck an iceberg, she likely would not have noticed
the slight bumping it caused on impact.
 One Third Class passenger was Henry
Sutehall of Kenmore, New York. He had traveled with a friend across the United States, then to Australia and eventually back
to England before finally booking passage on Titanic. He was returning home after a worldwide voyage of nearly two years.
 Swedish passenger Carl Jansson was also in
Third Class. As he prepared to come up on deck after collision with the iceberg, he noticed that water was sloshing around
his feet before eventually reaching his ankles.
