Reply to comment by Protomartyr1 in TIL about the sinking of the S.S. Eastland, a small steamer who, in the aftermath of the Titanic disaster, was filled with so many lifeboats that it became unstable and eventually sank, leading to the deaths of 844 people. by Sebastianlim

My numbers say 817 passengers, and 679 crew died, for a total of 1496 people on the Titanic. This counts the Guarantee group (people like Thomas Andrews) and the musicians as passengers.
