according to one reference, there were 1316 passengers (not including crew) on board when she went down and 498 survived. A little more than 1 out of every 3 passengers survived the disaster.
There were 918 crewmen of which only 215 survived. More than 3/4 of the crew perished.
note: I'm not understanding why a trip to the library is better than the internet for looking up information. Is it just because "books" are "better" than the internet? Or do they have a collection of facts down there that we don't get on the 'net? I suspect that, these days, the internet is a more useful research tool than the library - but that's just me. What would I know about such things? ☺

That's funny. I did an internet search on "titanic passengers" and got a large number of good sites, and numerous references to the number of passengers and the number of lives lost.
To your credit, the numbers are not known exactly, and there are different "official" body counts.
But the information you need will pop right up. Even better than an internet search would be a trip to the library.
Have fun!

The completely accurate passenger manifest went down with the ship.
It is said that over 1,500 passangers were on board.
The Titanics two sister ships also sank, the Olympic and Britannic.
