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.. |

This is not a good time to be poor, Miss Donohoe.
It looks like you were part of a big traveling party from your awkwardly named homeland. Three out of your group of 16 survived. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...t-donohoe.html Donohoe, Miss Bridget Dead - Body Not Recovered Female 21 Cum, Mayo , Ireland Queenstown Chicago, Illinois, US 3rd Class Unknown Unknown

The number of food service workers on the ship is pretty amazing. They had great customer service back then. Oh, and you died and your body was never found.

You were a farm kid headed to New York to build a new life with your uncle. You didn't make it.
It's kind of cool that you were born in a town called Ystradyfodwg, though. Can anyone give me a tip on pronouncing that?

You were a metallurgist and entrepreneur on your way to a business meeting in San Francisco. You were supposed to leave on a different liner a week earlier, but a coal strike caused problems, forcing you to move your ticket back. That's a tough break.

Here's something interesting. You served on the Olympic for several years, which is the ship that Henry Julian was scheduled to be on before the strike. (See the previous post.) But you were talked into transferring to the Titanic, with negative results.
And the other stewards were only called Stewards. You're a second-class steward. Is that a higher job or not as high, or does it just mean that you were assigned to second-class passengers? And if so, were the others all assigned to first class or third class? Edit: it looks like if you were just called a "saloon steward", you were working in third class. The other two classes are distinctly named according to which class they served. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...omas-wood.html Name Wood, Mr. J.T.
