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.. |

Oh, that's an interesting question.
https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...ew-mccrie.html Your wife did survive, primarily because she wasn't on the ship, and it's a sad story. You were an oil worker in Arabia, and she was back home in Canada. One of your four children was dying of tuberculosis, and you were coming back to comfort your distraught wife. You probably kind of made the situation worse, I'm guessing, through no fault of your own. It's not certain but she may have recovered enough to remarry four years later. But you will always be with her in her heart, the Heart of the Ocean.

According to the bio, your uncle was haunted by your death for the rest of his life. Apparently he was the first American immigrant in your family, and he had been advocating for family members to come to America. You were the first to follow him, and ... well...

Oh ye of little faith. You survived!
I love reading the variety of stories on board. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...la-yarred.html You were a 12 year-old Lebanese kid who spoke no English. Your mom and other family members had immigrated to Jacksonville (Bortles!) and now it was time for you, your father, and your 14 year-old sister to join them. Unfortunately, dad get pink eye or something and wasn't allowed to board the ship, so he sent you and your sister on alone. Two children lost alone in the crowd, not speaking English, you went topside and were eventually gathered up by some adults and herded onto Collapsible Lifeboat C twenty minutes before the ship went down. This lifeboat was the one where there was a concerted last-ditch effort to round up women and children. Apparently you did not enjoy this adventure and could not talk about it afterwards. Name Niqula-Yarid, Master Ilyas Outcome Survived, Lifeboat C Gender Male Age 12 Home El-Hakour, Lebanon Embarkation Cherbourg Destination Jacksonville, Florida, US Passenger Class 3rd Class Crew Department Unknown Crew Job Unknown

I would have died for sure. Only women and children on the boats. They are more important than me.

You died, but they found your body. It's a minor win, I guess. And, dude...your job title. Name White, Mr. Edward Joseph Outcome Dead - Body Recovered - No. 272MB Gender Male Age 27 Home Southampton, Hampshire, England Embarkation Southampton Destination Unknown Passenger Class Unknown Crew Department Victualing Crew Crew Job Glory Hole Steward Okay, I looked it up. "Glory Hole" was the term that was used for the male crew quarters. So you were the person responsible for keeping the male crew areas in shipshape condition. That's an unusual job. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...eph-white.html You were born on the Isle of Wight, which is kind of cool.

You are correct. But you must have been wearing your life jacket, because your mortal remains were eventually recovered.
https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...k-connors.html You were apparently the millionaire next door. You immigrated to the US in your 20s, had seven kids, and apparently became quite wealthy despite being listed as a laborer or farm laborer in occupation. You were thrifty on the ship as well, traveling third class as you returned home from a visit to your sister in Ireland. (Rain man note: I kind of wonder if the 'considerable fortune' attributed to him is a mistake describing someone else with the same name. Nothing else in his bio would hint at that. But who knows?)

I'll play if you can arrange a back seat date with Kate Winslet. I'd be fine with a restored 1912 Renault Coupe de Ville.

Interestingly, your body was recovered, but two months after the sinking. You apparently caught a current and were found over 500 miles from the sinking. Only four bodies were discovered after yours - one in the water and three in an abandoned lifeboat. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...as-kerley.html Name Kerley, Mr. William Thomas Outcome Dead - Body Recovered - No. 333O Gender Male Age 28 Home Salisbury, Wiltshire, England Embarkation Southampton Destination Unknown Passenger Class Unknown Crew Department Victualing Crew Crew Job Assistant Saloon Steward
