🚢 New Course: Class Divisions Aboard the Titanic — 17 Lessons, 5 Chapters, 1 Unforgettable Story
Why did a First Class man have a better chance of surviving the Titanic than a Third Class child?
That question — and the disturbing answer — is at the heart of our newest course: Class Divisions Aboard the Titanic.
What This Course Covers
This isn't a retelling of the movie. It's a deep, research-driven exploration of how the Edwardian class system was physically built into the ship — from the grand staircase to the locked gates of steerage — and how that architecture determined who lived and who died on the night of April 14, 1912.
5 chapters. 17 lessons. Fully text-based. Including:
The Edwardian social hierarchy and how it shaped Titanic's design
First Class luxury: who the Astors, Wideners, and Guggenheims really were
Second Class respectability: better than most ships' first class
Third Class reality: immigrants, locked barriers, and the dream of America
The sinking: survival rates by class, gender, and age — and the maritime laws that changed forever
Who It's For
Anyone fascinated by history, social systems, inequality, or the Titanic itself. No prerequisites — just curiosity.
Start with a 1-day free trial, then continue at $379/month for full access to all lessons, the Passenger Lounge chat, and a certificate of completion.
