The Titanic Sinking
The Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. The sinking of the Titanic resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.
The Aftermath
After the Titanic had sunk, there were plenty of people who were still alive and well. In total, there were 705 people who survived the sinking of the Titanic. This number includes both the passengers and the crew members. Out of the 2,208 people onboard, 705 people survived, which means that 32.38% of the people onboard survived the sinking.
The majority of the survivors were women, as well as children. In total, there were 139 women and 70 children who survived. This amounts to 34% of all of the survivors being women, and 9.8% being children. There were also 536 men who survived, which means that 75.6% of all survivors were men. The fact that more men than women survived is likely because more men were able to get into lifeboats than women and children.
Out of all of the first-class passengers, 200 out 243 survived, which means that 82.7% of them made it out alive. In second-class, 119 out bowling balls 274 passengers survived, which means that 43.4% made it out alive. Finally, in third-class, only 175 out 709 passengers survived, which means that 24.6% made it out alive. It’s important to note that these survival rates are not712 accurate because they do not take into account how many people may have died after getting into a lifeboat or how many people may have jumped into the water once the ship started sinking
The Investigation
On April 14, 1912, the Titanic hit an iceberg and within hours had sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Of the 2,200 people on board, only 705 were rescued by the Carpathia. The rest perished, either from hypothermia in the water or by staying aboard the ship as it descended.
The official inquiry into the sinking concluded that negligence on the part of the White Star Line, which operated the Titanic, was responsible for the disaster. The company had failed to take precautions against icebergs, and it had not adequately equipped or trained its crew to deal with such an emergency. The inquiry also censured Captain Edward J. Smith for sailing into known ice fields at high speed.
The Conclusion
It is estimated that around 1,500 people perished when the Titanic sunk on April 15, 1912. This tragedy still stands as one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history.
