How Many People Died In The Titanic Disaster?

36 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating


    There was a total of 2,223 people on board the RMS Titanic, and out of those people, 1,517 died. This left only 706 survivors. The passengers were split into different classes: First, second and third.
    First and second-class passengers had an advantage, as they could easily travel to the boat deck using the staircases that led there. The third-class passengers, however, were situated much lower down, and therefore found it difficult to find their way to the top of the ship. The locked gates that led to the second-class sections also made it more difficult for third-class passengers to escape. As a result of this, there were more deaths from the third-class than the first and second class deaths put together.
    130 first-class passengers died, along with 166 second-class passengers. 536 third-class passengers died. More third-class women and children died, whilst most of the first and second-class women and children survived. Women and children were loaded into the lifeboats first, which resulted in the loss of 1,347 men, as opposed to 103 women. Out of a total of 899 crew, 685 died. 53 children died, which was nearly half of the total amount of children on board.

    The amount of women that died does not include female kids, but there were over 50 children that died. Only one female child who was travelling first class died in the incident as opposed to the 53 third class children that died (so really I should have said 54 when I gave the amount that died before!). Hope this helps!

      1,517 died mostly men because they put children and women on frist but some children and women  from the the third-class couldnt get out because they closed the gates so the just had to die by the cold or drown.
