How many people were on the titanic when it sank how many died how many survive?
When the Titanic made its maiden voyage on April 14, 1912, it was carrying a total of 2,223 people which included both passengers and crew. There were 31 poeple who survived even though there was room for 52 on the lifeboats.
What angle did the iceberg hit the titanic?
No. That theory is 100% incorrect, the ship bent causing the decks to bend downward then the pressure was too much and the ship broke at about a 35 degree angle. The bending and pressure caused the decks to slant steeply downward, the first class lounge also had lots of pressure on it because of the air that was trapped during sinking. Then when the pressure and bending was too much it imploded and broke and that is why the decks are slanted steeply downward. The 3rd funnel part as the bow was headed for the bottom the part tore away and that's why it is missing in the wreck photos, also when the ship hit the seafloor the open spaces caused the decks to collapse even more.
Did bruce ismay cause the titanic to sink?
Bruce Ismay did not cause Titanic to sink. The myth of him urging the captain to speed up is exactly that: a myth. The woman that suggested that wasn't even dining at the same table during the alleged conversation.
What was the name of the person that made the titanic?
There was no one person that made the Titanic sink. It was a combination of out of date sea rules (such as not having enough life boats for everybody on board), a ship President that wanted glory making the ship go too fast, a pissed off wireless operator on another ship that could have helped the Titanic and many other things that helped the ship to sink
I would just like to add to that by saying that the reason the Titanic actually sunk was because it hit an iceberg, which pierced the hull, allowing water in, which sunk the boat. The fact that there weren't enough lifeboats had nothing to do with the Titanic sinking, that was merely the reason so many people died.
On the Titanic who was most likely to survive?
If you break the people on the ship down into groups of crew, first, second, and third class, and then each of those into groups of men, women, and children, you'll find that second class children was the only group to have the entire population (of 25) to survive.
Women were the most likely to survive in general on the ship, as 72% (324 out of 438) survived. Children were split 50/50 in surviving/dying (56 out of 112 survived). Men only had 19% survive (325 out of 1664 surviving men).
In terms of class, first class was the most likely to survive, with 63% surviving (200/319). The next best was second class with 43% (117/269 surviving), that followed by third class with 25% surviving (172/699). Crew was hit hardest with 23% surviving (215/918).
So, second class children had the best chance if you want to be specific. Out of women/men/children, women had the best chance. Out of crew/first/second/third class, first had the best chance. Men had the least chance of survival, crew had the worst, and second class men actually had the worst if you get specific. Only 8% survived (13/152).
Why wasnt it thomas Andrews fault the titanic sank?

How many ships were in the area when the Titanic was sinking?
There were at least 3, but they were either unaware of the catastrophe or unable to respond in time to save most of the victims, many of whom were immersed in ice-cold water.
The RMS Carpathia was the closest and eventually rescued many of those in the Titanic's lifeboats, arriving at the scene about an hour and a half after Titanic went down, or about 4 AM on April 15, 1912. It returned to New York with the survivors.
The SS Californian was thought to have been within sight of Titanic, but it is possible that it was the SS Mount Temple, which arrived at the sinking site after the Carpathia had completed rescue operations.
All three ships were later sunk by German ships during World War I.
Other ships had passed nearby the day before and warned of the ice fields that sank Titanic : SS Amerika, RMS Caronia, RMS Baltic, and the steamer Mesaba.

Was the unsinkable molly brown on the lusitania?
I'm not sure but I read that Molly Brown was one of the women from a group of women that went back to look for survivors.
The real Molly Brown was in control of a lifeboat of passengers, did look for survivors, and kept the passengers in her boat from panicking. That is why she is remembered as the Unsinkable Molly Brown .
During her sailing (and sinking) Titanic was the grandest (and largest) ship in the world).
The Titanic was supposed to be the sail of a life time for everyone aboard.

it was totally the titanic the titanic was the biggest ship and most money they called it the unsinkable the reson that they called it that was because it had 5 layers so if it water started coming in it wouldent sink the ship but the iceburg was so powerful the it flooded all of the layers and the captin woke up everyone on the ship to tell them it was sinking most of the people that did not get on the lifeboats jumped off and swam to one the rest were to scared that's the story p.s. if you want to go to a musem of the titanic tenn. is your place.
Is the Titanic Ever Going to be Raised?
Unlikely.
It will never be raised because it would fall apart. It will be left at the bottom of the Atlantic but it won't be there long because a bacteria that eats iron is now on it and it may be just a stain on the ocean floor by 2035.
Given the probable state of the ship, and the difficulties in working on that depth would make immensely expensive to raise the Titanic, and there'd be no realistic way of getting that money back.
What part of the Titanic ship was hit?
The starboard (right) side of the ship, just behind the bow, was gashed open when the iceberg smashed in the hull plates, which were held by steel rivets. The freezing temperature of the water may have contributed by making the rivets and plates more brittle and easily displaced. Once the water began to overtop the dividers between hull sections, the entire bow filled with water and caused the ship to go under. As the stern was lifted from the water, it split off from the bow, and the ship separated into two pieces as it sank to the bottom.
Are there any bodies still inside titanic wreckage?
It's not known exactly. Most of the corpses that sank with the vessel but remained outside the hull of the ship have by now completely rotted away, even their bones having dissolved, although there are occasional poignant traces of where they once lay- there is, for example, a famous photograph taken by Robert Ballard of a man's black shoes with the barest traces of ankle-bones left in them.
Some people argue that the bow section of the wreck may contain a number of bodies that may have been prevented from completely disintegrating by their limited exposure to the sea outside, although other marine archaeologists and explorers disagree and say that there are probably no corpses left at all. Much of the deep interior of the bow section is inaccessible due to vast amounts of wreckage and silt, so if there ARE any human remains left, we may never discover them. Perhaps it's best if we don't, and they are left to rest in peace.
