The Passengers
Approximately 1,316 passengers were aboard:
• 325 First-Class Passengers, many returning home to the U.S. and Canada from whirl-wind honeymoons and vacations.
• 285 Second-Class Passengers, crossing the Atlantic with dreams of visiting family or starting a business.
• 706 Third-Class Passengers, who perhaps left everything behind for the chance to start a new life in the land of opportunity.
