  1. The Titanic

  2. Historical Facts • Women and Children were saved 1st. • 1st Class people was the most saved class. • More than 100,000 people attended the takeoff.

  3. Historical Facts (continued) • In 1898 (14 years prior to the Titanic tragedy), Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called Futility. This fictitious novel was about the largest ship ever built hitting an iceberg in the Atlantic ocean on a cold April night. The fictional ship (named Titan) and the real ship Titanic were similar in design and their circumstances were remarkably alike. Both ships were labeled "unsinkable". • Two dogs were among all of the survivors.

  4. Miss Elizabeth Bonnell • Another person that was aboard and made it back alive when the Titanic sank was Miss Elizabeth Bonnell. She was sixty when she came aboard. When she was on the ship, she was going to the United States. She wasn’t traveling alone. She was traveling with her niece who was Caroline Bonnell. They were to join the family of George Dennick Wick. When she was in the United States, it was said that she was going to visit her brother who was William Fearnley who was located in Cleveland, Ohio. When the collision happened, it was Caroline who found her. She brought her on up to the A deck. They moved up to the boat deck with the family who was on board as well with them and they were then put into lifeboat eight.

  5. Thomas Andrews Jr. • Thomas was the designer of the Titanic, and also a victim of the Titanic. His last moments were spent encouraging passengers to wear their life belts and to get to the lifeboats. He was last seen in the First Class deck staring at a painting with his lifebelt removed.

  6. Total Survived by Class • This shows how the number differed from classes. It shows that obviously First Class was treated better and the “rich” people were saved more.

  7. Titanic Survivors • This graph compares men survivors to women survivors. There were more men survivors but there were also more men total. The total amount of men was about 1600 and the total of women was about 400.

  8. Saved Passengers • This graph shows how many passengers were saved in Men, Women, and Children, and Total.

  9. Reason for my 3rd Graph • The reason for my 3rd graph, is I wanted to kind of show how the people were saved and how they chose who got in the boats. Some of the rich people had bribed the people guarding the boats, and others tried to rush in. But the rule was “Women and Children” first.
