How many died in the sinking of Titanic?

Answer 1

There has never been universal agreement over the number of lives lost in the sinking of the Titanic. Beginning with the first news reports of the disaster, inquirers have found it unwise to trust the original passenger and crew lists, which were rendered inaccurate by such factors as misspellings, omissions, aliases, and failure to count musicians and other contracted employees as either passengers or crew members. Agreement was made more difficult by the international nature of the disaster, essentially involving a British-registered liner under American ownership that carried more than 2,000 people of many nationalities. Immediately after the sinking, official inquiries were conducted by a special committee of the U.S. Senate (which claimed an interest in the matter on the grounds of the American lives lost) and the British Board of Trade (under whose regulations the Titanic operated). The figures established by these hearings are as follows:

U.S. Senate committee: 1,517 lives lost

British Board of Trade: 1,503 lives lost

Confusion over these figures was immediately aggravated by the official reports of these inquiries to the U.S. Senate and the British Parliament; these reports revised the numbers to 1,500 and 1,490, respectively. The figures have been revised, officially and unofficially, so many more times since 1912 that most researchers and historians concede that they will never know how many of the people sailing on the Titanic died.

Answer 2

1,496 people died on Titanic (and 712 were saved).

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. 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.
1517 died, out of the 2223 aboard the ship.
1,514 has always been the number that I am familiar with however, you see quite a few different numbers running about. I suppose you could always generalize and say "Over 1,500 lives lost".
1,517 passengers and crew died on Titanic.
1,503 people total died.

Most of them died of hypothermia or drowning.
The British Board of Inquiry presented the bloated figure of 1,517 victims but there were 1,496 deaths for sure.
