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 1306) M CS Minia (bodies 307323) MM CGS Montmagny (bodies 326329) A SS Algerine (body 330) O RMS Oceanic (bodies 331333) 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.. |

You're in the thread, but not in the lifeboat. Sadly, you perished upon the sea.
As an assistant purser (which is apparently a management position), you made darn good money. You were making 15 pounds per month, while the general stewards made less than four pounds per month. In the end it didn't do you a whole lot of good, though. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...nd-barker.html Name Barker, Mr. Reginald Lomond Outcome Dead - Body Not Recovered Gender Male Age 40 Home Southampton, Hampshire, England Embarkation Belfast Destination Unknown Passenger Class Unknown Crew Department Victualing Crew Crew Job Assistant*Purser

You're a mystery for the most part. All we know is that you bought a ticket and were headed to Vancouver. As a general observation, Mr. Dika paid 7.85 pounds for his third class ticket. As a point of comparison, the various stewards working on the ship were commonly paid 3.75 pounds per month. The assistant purser fellow was making 15 pounds per month, which is the highest I've seen so far. So even a third class ticket was an expensive undertaking.

Ah. As a trimmer, Mr. Gosling was earning 5.5 pounds per month. Coal handling paid notably more than being a steward.
Still died, though. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...s-gosling.html Name Gosling, Mr. Bertram James Outcome Dead - Body Not Recovered Gender Male Age 22 Home Southampton, Hampshire, England Embarkation Southampton Destination Unknown Passenger Class Unknown Crew Department Engineering Crew Crew Job Trimmer
