On April 10, 1912, the Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, bound for New York City. The atmosphere was electric. On board were some of the wealthiest people in the world—tycoons like John Jacob Astor IV and Benjamin Guggenheim—who dined in opulent first-class salons with chandeliers and grand staircases.

But the ship was also a vessel of hope for over 700 third-class passengers—immigrants from Ireland, Scandinavia, and the Middle East seeking a new life in America. They were packed into the lower decks, but for them, even the steerage quarters of the Titanic represented a passage to freedom.
