"Third Class: A Glimpse into the Past" Step back in time and explore the world of "third class, " where stories of resilience, tragedy, and everyday life unfold. From the luxurious Titanic to the bustling Kings Cross station, this caption takes you on a journey through history. Imagine dining aboard the White Star liner Titanic on that fateful day in 1912. The menu for third-class passengers offers a glimpse into their last meal before disaster struck. Little did they know that their voyage would end tragically after colliding with an iceberg.

The hustle and bustle captured in this source size photograph transports us back to a bygone era. Artistic expressions also shed light on third-class experiences. "Playing a Tune" portrays musicians entertaining passengers amidst challenging circumstances while "Street Urchins" depicts children navigating life's hardships with resilience and determination. Personal artifacts tell individual stories within this broader narrative. A postcard from passenger Alfonzo Meo serves as both a memento of his journey aboard Titanic but also a reminder of his tragic fate. Meanwhile, White Star Line oversize saucers and demitasse cups offer glimpses into daily life onboard these historic ships. The No. 1080 Corridor Carriage represents another facet travel—a space where people from diverse backgrounds shared close quarters during long journeys across countries or continents. Lastly, we encounter art that captures scenes beyond transportation—like "Herring Seller; Heringsverkaufer.
