How many people were aboard the titanic when it hit the ice berg?

Answer 1

There were 2,202 people on board the Titanic's maiden voyage. There were 1317 passengers and 885 crew members on board.
Different sources provide slightly different numbers: the Wikipedia entry claims a total of 2,227 passengers and crew members combined, but does not mention the number of passengers and crew members separately.

The first Related Link claims 1,343 passengers and 885 crew members, making a total of 2,228 people.

The second Related Link claims 1,324 passengers and 889 crew members, making a total of 2,223 people.
On its first sailing the Titanic had 2,224 people including crew members.
According to Wiki there were 2,223 people on board, 991 were crew, so 1232 were passengers.

There is a variation of how many people were actually aboard the number ranges from 2220 to 2228, a conservative estimate would be to go with the highest number to be on the safe side so give or take 5 from what was stated above, 1232 were passengers

Answer 3

Titanic hit the berg at 11:40 in the evening so many people had already retired at that time, like Archibald Gracie who probably had about three solid hours of sleep.
