Talk:Titanic

It should be 1,496 deaths,712 survivors, and 2,208 total passengers.

Seconding this. These are known numbers, we have the entire manifest and all the names. The numbers are backed by a comprehensive list of victims and a similarly comprehensive list of survivors which account for all 2208 people on board. There's no reason for this to be contentious, it's settled research.

This is a silly talk to be honest.. however, I think it should say "The Titanic is a ship blah blah that sank in 1912 etc etc" the ship still exists but just on the ocean floor. Olympic for example does not exist anymore due to her being scrapped. 2A00:23C6:F1A:D001:E5E:C5A3:2CA3:F12E (talk) 21:52, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

The distinction between "was" and "is" is defined by the distinction between "ship" and "wreck." The wreck is on the bottom of the ocean. The wreck of the Titanic was a ship until it sank. Otherwise, every ship that ever sank would be described in the present tense. Acroterion (talk) 23:31, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

See the above two edit requests. Please undo this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Titanic&diff=prev&oldid=1218967441 edit which deletes all the "she" pronouns against guidelines. 2600:1016:B0E1:CCF8:ADEC:6E74:C4CD:3056 (talk) 03:28, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

No one seems to understand what I'm saying here but the guidelines in the article say to use SHE4SHIPS in the editnotice and on the talk page. I think that edit might be too long to undo but the request is to change all the "she" pronouns that got removed back to what they were because that edit clearly violated the rules. 2600:1016:B0E1:CCF8:ADEC:6E74:C4CD:3056 (talk) 03:29, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. Your concern is too old at this point. If you'd like to revert something that was performed a year ago, you'll need a new consensus. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 02:33, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

Looking at the page for Olympic it has RMS included, but this page is different for Tiantic. Should RMS be added? 82.5.229.191 (talk) 20:10, 24 September 2025 (UTC)

2600:1015:B222:64E:644A:E5FF:FEEC:54F3 (talk) 00:46, 20 October 2025 (UTC)I want to edit it so it is easier to understand. I know people have changed the real information to fake information. I want to put in the real information for users that need the truth of the Titanic. Say a kid had a school project on the Titanic. They need real information or they will fail the class their in. I want to make sure they pass their project. Please accept my request so I can put real information.

RMS Titanic was a British Olympic-class ocean liner operated by the White Star Line. At the time of her completion in 1912, she was the largest ship afloat, measuring approximately 882 feet (269 meters) in length and 92 feet (28 meters) in breadth. Titanic was built in Belfast, Ireland, with construction beginning on 31 March 1909 and completed on 2 April 1912. She was designed to provide luxury accommodations for passengers and to compete with other transatlantic liners. Titanic embarked on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City on 10 April 1912.

At Cherbourg, France, a passenger named Margaret Brown boarded Titanic. She would later become known in history as “The Unsinkable Molly Brown” for her efforts to help other survivors during the ship’s sinking. Margaret Brown was an American socialite and philanthropist, and her actions during the disaster brought her lasting recognition.

Some factors contributed to the sinking of RMS Titanic. On board, a fire had been burning in a coal bunker on the starboard side for several days before the voyage, which may have weakened the steel plates in that area. Additionally, the ship struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic on the night of 14 April 1912, causing extensive damage to her hull. Some studies suggest that refraction of light on the water and poor visibility contributed to the collision by making it difficult for lookouts to spot the iceberg in time. The combination of these factors ultimately led to the flooding of multiple compartments and the ship’s sinking in the early hours of 15 April 1912. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mquay2 (talk • contribs)

I was unable to add to the ‘Death/Survivor Count is outdated’ topic, so have had to start a new one. I just wanted to say that according to the BBC series ‘Titanic Sinks Tonight’ the number of passengers and crew on board the ship was 2208, not 2224 as stated in the article. This agrees with the number given in the original post (which does not appear to have an author) of 1,496 deaths,712 survivors, and 2,208 total passengers. The BBC series is based on recently discovered archives and records, and accounts from survivors and has been examined by experts. If these numbers are accepted to be the most recently verified, why has the article not been corrected? SaintIX (talk) 07:35, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

Я не понимаю, что за ошибка в массе корабля и водоизмещении? Только двигатели этого судна весили 720 тонн🤔. Где правда? Андрей добрый 7 (talk) 15:13, 5 March 2026 (UTC)
