Another famous â and rich â passenger who died was Benjamin Guggenheim, heir to the familyâs mining business. He initially though the accident was a minor one, but when he realized the Titanic was going to sink and that rescue was unlikely, the story goes that he changed into his formal evening wear to face death.
The Titanic was a ship that sank on her maiden voyage from Belfast to New York by colliding with an iceberg in the Atlantic ocean in 1912. Of 2229 passengers and crew, only 713 survived to be rescued by the MV Carpathia, making this the largest loss of life on a passenger vessel at that time.
