Did they lock people in the Titanic?

No, third-class passengers weren't locked in cages, but they faced significant barriers, like waist-high gates (sometimes temporarily closed/locked by crew) and confusing layouts, that delayed their access to lifeboats compared to first/second-class passengers, leading to a higher death toll despite no deliberate mass trapping. The gates were partly for immigration rules but weren't insurmountable, though many crew prioritized women/children and unfamiliarity with routes slowed others.

The key breakthrough was realizing the wreck broke apart and searching for the long debris field, not just the ship itself.
