Sinking of the RMS Titanic
Less than a third of those aboard Titanic survived the disaster . Some survivors died shortly afterwards ; injuries and the effects of exposure caused the deaths of several of those brought aboard Carpathia . Of the groups shown in the table , 49 percent of the children , 26 percent of the female passengers , 82 percent of the male passengers and 78 percent of the crew died . The figures show stark differences in the survival rates between men and women , and of the different classes aboard Titanic , especially among women and children . Although less than 10 percent of first - and second - class women ( combined ) were lost , 54 percent of those in third class died . Similarly , five of six first - class and all second - class children survived , but 52 of the 79 in third class perished . The only first - class child to perish was Loraine Allison , aged two . Proportionately , the heaviest losses were suffered by the second - class men , of whom 92 percent died . Of the pets brought aboard , three survived the sinking .
