Many stokers made it to lifeboats, even lead stoker Frederick Barrett, who later testified at the American Inquiry.
The coal workers on Titanic were called "stokers" or firemen" and they shoveled coal into furnaces. The piles were evened out for a good balance of the ship by "trimmers".
The 'black gang', as they were known, consisted of 175 firemen plus more than 75 trimmers.
