+They could also explore the working rooms. Children were not allowed in many of the adult rooms, they were expected to be
watched over in their play areas. But because the ship did not provide much for the third class children to do, they would
explore any working rooms that they could sneak into. One third class child survivor even remembered that he had went
into one boiler room and a worker waved at him in a very friendly manner.

+ If they were with their parents, they could also go into the third class general room. This room was used for men, women, and chilren to visit with eachother. The general room was a great place for everyone to get together. They would dance, play music, sing, smoke, and talk together.

+ Most of all, the third class children only had their imaginations and a huge ship to explore to occupy their time. But most of
the kids were used to this and were highly pleasured and occupied aboard the Titanic.
