I find this object a very emotional object.	0:58:08	0:58:10
I wonder who has looked through it,	0:58:10	0:58:12
what they were feeling as they looked through it	0:58:12	0:58:14
and the excitement and anticipation,	0:58:14	0:58:16
possibly anxiety, of going to a new life, in a new world.	0:58:16	0:58:19
We're looking at a porthole from the third-class areas of Titanic.	0:58:19	0:58:24
This has been loaned to us by RMS Titanic,	0:58:24	0:58:27
who've brought it up from the seabed.	0:58:27	0:58:29
Third-class accommodation was basic,	0:58:29	0:58:31
compared to the millionaires in first,	0:58:31	0:58:33
but those emigrants still had to be enticed on board.	0:58:33	0:58:36
At meal times, there was roast beef on the menu,	0:58:36	0:58:39
served by stewards at linen-covered tables.	0:58:39	0:58:42
It was actually difficult for them to get to lifeboat points.	0:58:42	0:58:46
They would have been reluctant to leave their baggage	0:58:46	0:58:49
and their belongings behind.	0:58:49	0:58:50
That's probably all they had in the world.	0:58:50	0:58:53
Third-class passengers would have seen the greatest loss of life.	0:58:53	0:58:56
