    Excerpt from Shipping Casualties
    Loss of the steamship 'Titanic' Circa 1912

     



    Passengers:  There were approximately 2207 people on Board the Titanic, unfortunately, there is no exact record of everyone that was on board.  All these lists were written by hand, and copies were being prepared by several different people.  With all the last minute bookings and cancellations, in addition to those that missed the ship, it is impossible to tell exactly how many people were on the Titanic.
