By Greg Daugherty. The sinking of the Titanic claimed some 1,500 lives, among them a gallery of early 20th-century A-list celebrities. Captains of industry John Jacob Astor IV and Benjamin Guggenheim both went down with the ship, as did Macyâs co-owner Isidor Straus and his wife, Ida, who refused to leave his side.
Men in third class experienced the largest fatality rate. Only about 20% of men on the ship itself survived, and of the 1,517 fatalities on the ship, 1,347 were men. Most of the crew was also lost during the sinking of the Titanic. Out of the 899 crew members on board, 685 went down with the ship. Titanic survivors were mostly men and women. About 74% of the women survived as did about 52% of the children. All the children from first and second class survived, while most of the loss of child life came from third class. The Titanic had the capacity to hold 32 lifeboats, but this was not mandatory under maritime law of the time.
