Biography of Titanic Victims

On the crisp night of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic—heralded as the pinnacle of luxury and engineering—struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. In the early hours of April 15, more than 1,500 passengers and crew passed into the icy waters when the “unsinkable” ship foundered. From immigrants chasing new dreams in third class to prominent families enjoying first-class splendor, lives full of promise were quietly lost. The tragedy touched hearts worldwide, leading to stronger safety-at-sea laws and the establishment of the International Ice Patrol. Memorials in Belfast, Halifax, and beyond honor their memory, reminding us of human fragility and the enduring bonds of courage shown by those who helped others first. Their stories continue to float gently through time.
