What did harland and wolff do?
Harland & Wollf and her men, built ships to the world and those ships sailed every ocean and to every land, without Harland & Wolff, Britain would not have had the ships, warships and merchant ships to defeat Germany and the Axis country's in two world war's. The Men of Harland and Wolff, had so much skills that H&W was one of those shipyard that was an all round Yard that is that nearly everything was manufactured there from engines, ropes to the furniture that graced the liners she built, they taught the world how to build ships and now it is such a shame that they cannot compete with far east yards who are building ships cheaper than the western yards.

Most passengers, even the wealthier ones, would check their valuables with the ship's purser. Many of them retrieved their items when they realized the ship was sinking. Also, millionaires didn't carry all of their "wealth" around with them!
Some may be left in the purser's safes, as well as in the various staterooms.
The most valuable item on the cargo list was a special, gold-leaf embossed copy of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, decorated with precious and semi-precious stones.
Gold was sometimes shipped between the Bank of England and the Treasury of the United States for maintaining trade balances and dollar/pound values. This was handled under the auspices of the Royal Mail Service, and Titanic was a Royal Mail ship, hence her "RMS" prefix to her name. There was even a special strongroom in the ship's postal area for carrying it. It would not be listed on the ship's cargo manifest, since it was considered separate from White Star Line business, much as US Mail is carried on US airliners, yet is not part of that airliner's or airline's cargo. However, the Bank of England seals its records, so any guess as to whether Titanic was carrying any gold when she sank is just that... a guess.
Of course, there is no shortage of fictional 'treasures' aboard the Titanic, from the giant blue diamond in James Cameron's Titanic, to the contraband gold bullion being smuggled in Robert Serling's Something's Alive on the Titanic, among others. But they are just that...fiction.
Titanic's cargo was really rather ordinary.

How many fourth class passengers were on the titanic?
no..just some of them where..it was the crew members that were stuck in the titanic..the crew members were stuck so the got slid into the water when part of the ship was rising out of the water.
-----
Actually, the whole third class was locked down, but some of them escaped to the deck, pretending to be first classmen, therefore being let into life boats. However, there was a total of 710 third classmen total with only 174 surviving. That is only about 24% that survived.
Why did the titanc hit the ice berg?
What I hear happened was the Titanic had gotten massages about iceberg fields ahead but Capt. Smith still had the Titanic cruising along at maybe 24 knots, and it's highest was 25 knots. The men in the crows nest spotted the iceberg with only their eyes, and they rang the bell. The Titanic was turning and it seemed to not hit but it did. If the men in the crows nest had had binoculars, which were in a locked locker (because a crew member was put off the ship for another, and he by mistake took the key to the locker.) they could have spotted it quicker and therefore the Titanic would not have hit the iceberg which in fact was a blackberg.
The love between jack and rose isn't real too is it?
If you are referring to the film Titanic then no, Jack and Rose are entirely fictional characters. They do not have a real life, they are fictional characters in a film, most of which is fiction too.

No he did not. Spicer Lovejoy, Cal Hockley's bodyguard/butler planted the Heart of the Ocean necklace into Jack's pocket, making it seem like Jack stole the necklace.

How many people didnt survive the crash of the titanic?

Who ignored the ice warnings on the Titanic?
John "Jack" Phillips. He snubbed the warning by Evans by saying, "Shut up, shut up! I am busy. I am working on Cape Race."
Eventually, Evans felt rejected, so he shut down his radio, and went to bed.
That's the reason why when Titanic was sending out distress signals to The Californian, the latter ship didn't respond, because Evans was asleep.
Is there's Titanic 2 about Rose and Jack?
As of 2016, no such film exists.
In all likelihood, there never will be, since Jack died in the first movie, and they did not know each other before meeting on the ship. It would be difficult to make either a prequel or a sequel.

Anything about the actual ship the Titanic?
The R.M.S. Titanic was the sister ship of the Olympic and the Brittanic, all three of which were owned by the White Star Line, a British shipping company. The Titanic was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and was known to be the grandest, largest, and most luxurious of all passenger liners of her time. Her passengers included such personalities as the Countess of Rothes Noël Leslie, Macy's department store owner Isidor Straus and his wife, Ida, White Star Line's managing director J. Bruce Ismay, Harland and Wolff shipbuilder Thomas Andrews, as well as many immigrant families hoping to start a new life in America. The ship hit an iceberg at about midnight during the late night/early morning of April 14th/April 15th 1912, and sunk at about two hours after the collision. 1,517 passengers were lost to the freezing sea. The only living survivor is Millvina Dean, who was only two months old at the time of her passage on the Titanic. The last survivor to have actual memories of the sinking was Lillian Asplund, who was five in 1912 and died in 2006.
