How many people died on the Titanic?
In total there were an estimated 1,517 people killed in the sinking of the Titanic, 832 passengers and 685 crew members.
68% – the percentage of people on board (passengers and crew) who were lost in the disaster.
53.4% – the total percentage who could have survived, given the number of lifeboat spaces available.

Its the most dreadful sound and there is a terrible silence that follows it. -Eva Hart, Second C
