Third Class cabins were cabins that were for Third-class passengers. Most of them were located on F Deck, with a few on the forward G Deck. They were noticeably less comfortable and spacious then their First and Second-class counterparts, which were located in higher decks. This area was the first to flood during the sinking, because of their location in the lowest decks in the bow.

Flooding
G Deck flooded within 5-10 minutes after the iceberg collision, and F-deck flooded shortly after. Third Class passengers were the majority of the deaths in the sinking, because they didn't have much time to escape their staterooms. Another factor was that the staircases were located relatively far from the forward Third Class cabins, which weren't good for the Third class passengers, either.
