Error in Passengers

[edit]

In passengers we have the text:

"Titanic's passengers numbered 1,317 people: 324 in first class, 285 in second class, and 708 in third class. Of these, 1680 were male and 434 were female; 112 children were aboard, the largest number of which were in third class.[5] "

If total passengers were 1317 then the sentence beginning "Of These, 1680..." is nonsensical. I think the numbers are confused between passengers and total number of people on board ship (IE. Including crew) Kev (talk) 09:52, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2023 Titan submersible incident

[edit]

I’ve reverted an edit that seems to have been hastily made, adding the following the the end of the first paragraph:

“and an additional 5 people on 22nd June 2023 as an oceangate titan submersible imploded at the wreckage site.” (plus citations)

I removed it since this article is about passengers on the actual 1912 voyage, not a tally of all Titanic-related deaths. I don’t think the recent events call for any changes to this article. But anyone feels some mention is needed, I’m happy to discuss. Harachel22 (talk) 20:28, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

missing last name

[edit]

In Third Class, there is a name listed as, quote, "., Mrs. Maija Emelia Abrahamintytar (née Ketola-Ojala)". I assume from its placement, this woman was part of the Panula family. Correct? Elsquared67 (talk) 07:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leo DiCaprio

[edit]

"Third-class or steerage passengers were primarily immigrants moving to the United States and Canada (including Leo DiCaprio)."

Either the author cannot tell fact from fiction or this is a joke. Either way, I question including Leo DiCaprio as one of The Titanic's steerage passengers. Jersey Jan (talk) 22:59, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
