50 Images From The Titanic You Have To See To Believe

There were 1,317 passengers aboard the Titanic

There were 1,317 passengers aboard the Titanic in total; 324 of them were first-class passengers, 284 second-class passengers and the remaining 709 were third-class passengers. Because the Titanic was one of the most luxurious liners of its era, the passengers were segregated into the three classes based on their individual tickets.

The ship also had on board more than 100 children, most of them being in the third-class cabins. One unknown fact about the Titanic’s tragic maiden voyage is that the ship could have accommodated even more passengers but it wasn’t filled to capacity.
