Survivors and Victims Chart

For years, the numbers of survivors, victims, and crew were widely speculative for several reasons. 

• Passengers who cancelled their trip were included in the early numbers until it could be determined that they were not on the ship. 
• There were a few no-show passengers whose names appeared on the passenger list but were not removed when they did not check in before sailing time. 
• There were crew who jumped ship at Cherbourg and Queenstown. 
• There were several people who used aliases and were counted twice - for example, the Duff-Gordons.  
• There were survivors pulled from the water who died on Carpathia a few hours later from their injuries but were still on the survivor count. 

This chart uses numbers from the US and British Board of Inquiry hearings and are generally accepted as true.
