5. Titanic survivors in life boats
Rare Historical Photos
Survivors from the Titanic are seen boarding the Carpathia in this rare historical photo. More than 1500 people lost their lives on that day in 1912. After the renown ship crashed into an iceberg, only a few hundred passengers were saved. Many of those who didn’t get lost at sea were picked up by the Carpathia, the ship shown here. Most of the people were likely from first class, as those with first class tickets had a 44% higher chance of surviving the tragedy. According to some researchers, the design that was presented as “state of the art” back then was massively flawed and not at all unsinkable.
