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.. |

Another tragic loss of a bartender. Wait, he wasn't even 21. Times have changed.
Or maybe a steward was also stocking or something. Anyway, you're dead.

You had a charmed life. You were a first class passenger, you were likely having sex with Swedish women, and you survived.
According to wikipedia, you saved at least one other person as well. Here's what they say about Lifeboat D (in part). In the end, about 25 people were on board when it left the deck under the command of Quartermaster Arthur Bright.[102][103][87] Two first class passengers, Hugh Woolner and Mauritz Håkan Björnström-Steffansson, jumped from A-Deck (which had started to flood) into the boat as it was being lowered, with Björnström-Stefansson landing upside down in the boat's bow and Woolner landing half-out, before being pulled aboard by the occupants.[104][65] Another first class passenger, Frederick Maxfield Hoyt, who had previously put his wife in the boat, jumped in the water immediately after, and was hauled aboard by Woolner and Björnström-Steffansson.[103][104] The number of people on board later increased when about 10–12 survivors were transferred to collapsible D from another boat.[102][103] Carpathia picked up those aboard collapsible D at 7:15 a.m.[46] Name Björnström-Steffanson, Mr. Mauritz Håkan Outcome Survived, Lifeboat D Gender Male Age 28 Home Stockholm, Sweden Embarkation Southampton Destination Washington, DC, US Passenger Class 1st Class Crew Department Unknown Crew Job Unknown

I've got good news and bad news.
Actually, wait. There is no good news. You were poor and you died young, and they never found your body.

No problem at all. At least you had a nice 2nd class cabin, though.

Looks like I helped build the damn thing. https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.or...as-millar.html By the time of the 1911 census Thomas and his family were resident at 14 Hillman Street, also in the Dock Ward, and he was described as a fitter. He reportedly helped build the engines for both Olympic and Titanic.
