Nearing the end of the exhibit, a large wall comprised of a list of names of passengers from First, Second, and Third class were displayed. Guests were encouraged to read the back of their boarding passes to examine their passengers name to see if they lived or died.

Locked gates were between First and lower classes to prevent lower class passengers from wandering into the First Class accommodations.
