Hypothetical: If you were aboard the Titanic.
Would you have lived or died? Find out here and I'll let you know.
Tell me if you want to be a man, or if you'll take on the role of either gender, and I'll roll the dice for you and assign you a real person who was on the ship.* (If you're a woman, let me know too and I can give you a female dice roll.) If you don't tell me, I'll assume you're a guy. I'll let you know the person's name, age, origin, embarkation point, destination, passenger class if they were a passenger, and their department and job if they were on the crew. In some cases we don't know so you'll get a blank, but the information is pretty good. Oh, and if you were a passenger your crew stuff will come back as unknown, and vice versa if you were crew. There was a small handful of people who were both passengers and crew. The ship's orchestra and the Guarantee Workers were the two groups listed in both classes. (Guarantee workers were the expert repair guys who were assigned to the maiden voyage to make repairs of anything new that was broken. They apparently didn't have expertise in major hull repairs.) You're then welcome to look up more detail about the person if you can find it. Some of them have interesting stories. So sign up in the thread and I'll let you know. * For some reason I'm missing a small number of people, but I've got about 98 percent of them in my database. If you died and your body was recovered, here are the ships that recovered you, based on your body ID number: MB – CS Mackay-Bennett (bodies 1–306) M – CS Minia (bodies 307–323) MM – CGS Montmagny (bodies 326–329) A – SS Algerine (body 330) O – RMS Oceanic (bodies 331–333) I – SS Ilford (body 334) OT – SS Ottawa [57] (body 335) If you survived, you can go here to see the story of your particular lifeboat. Hard lifeboats were labeled 1 through 16, and four collapsible lifeboats were labeled A through D. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifebo..._the_lifeboats Last edited by Rain Man; 02-16-2019 at 09:00 PM.. |

We're on a bad streak. Second class must have been late to the deck.
Name Linnane, Mr. John Outcome Dead - Body Not Recovered Gender Male Age 61 Home Chelsea, Michigan, US Embarkation Southampton Destination Chelsea, Michigan, US Passenger Class 2nd Class Crew Department Unknown Crew Job Unknown There appears to be some confusion about the spelling of your name. And in a move that stinks, you were supposed to go transatlantic earlier on a different ship, but the salespeople talked you into waiting for the brand new Titanic. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...n-lingane.html

Well, the bad news is that you died. But the good news is that you didn't have to clean the bathrooms after that.

You're not just a dude, you're a dude who survived the Titanic.
Name Frauenthal, Mr. Isaac Gerald Outcome Survived, Lifeboat 5 Gender Male Age 43 Home London, England, UK Embarkation Southampton Destination New York, New York, US Passenger Class 1st Class Crew Department Unknown Crew Job Unknown You were a well to do lawyer, and you were returning from vacation with your brother, a well to do doctor, and his new wife. The three of you climbed into Lifeboat 5, which launched relatively early in the process. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...rauenthal.html

They did this at the Titanic display at Union Station in KC. My daughter drew the old man that was depicted in the movie as staying in the room with his wife when Titanic went down.
Female please.

You got on, and you also got back off. Nice work.
Name Jonsson, Mr. Carl Outcome Survived, Lifeboat 15 Gender Male Age 32 Home Kalfsnäs, Småland, Sweden Embarkation Southampton Destination Huntley, Illinois, US Passenger Class 3rd Class Crew Department Unknown Crew Job Unknown It appears that you were a bit of a liar, though. Your sister in law somehow got the story that you were rescued like Rose Dawson, floating on a piece of wood, but it was documented that you were on Lifeboat 15. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...l-jonsson.html And in an even bigger jerk move, you gave speeches later in life about how you survived by swimming to Collapsible Lifeboat A. However, that was done by another rescued Swede named Carl Jansson, and you stole his story. (On that note, what are the odds of two rescued people being named Carl Jonsson and Carl Jansson?) https://www.geni.com/people/Carl-Jon...00016213591825
