All Passengers First Class Second Class Third Class

More than 2,200 people were on board the Titanic when it struck an iceberg the night of April 14, 1912. The Titanic’s crew of nearly 900 is not included here.

First class passengers hailed mainly from U.S. and European cities. Despite orders to put women and children in lifeboats first, survival rates were highest in first class. Most children were in steerage.

Travelers in second class enjoyed fewer amenities aboard the Titanic. Their hometowns were more widely scattered, and their ranks included the only black family on board, traveling from Paris to Haiti.
