Who was onboard? Who died? How did they die? Here are some of the most Famous People who died on the Titanic.

1. Isidore and Ida Strauss

Their story is a story of romantic tragedy, but the real tragedy lies in the fact that it took place.
They met after the civil war ended at a time when Isidore Straus was penniless. He moved to New York City and later acquired Macy’s with his brother. He went on to become a member of the House of Representatives as well as a successful businessman.

According to some reports, Straus was given a spot on a lifeboat while the ship was going to sink. But, he wouldn’t board any lifeboat until every woman and child was moved to safety.

Ida then decided to stay together with her husband, and on being urged by her husband to evacuate the ship, she reportedly said, “We have lived together for many years. Where you go, I go.” Isidore and Ida Strauss were among the famous people who died on the Titanic, but they stayed together till the very last honoring their commitment of “Till Death do us part.”

2. Benjamin Guggenheim

Among the famous people to have died on the Titanic is Benjamin Guggenheim. He was from the Guggenheim family, which had amassed great wealth from the mining industry. He was accompanied by his lover Léontine Aubart and his staffers. He has reportedly been heard saying to his maid, “We will soon see each other again. It’s just a repair. Tomorrow the Titanic will go on again”.

3. Thomas Andrews

Can you imagine being destroyed by the very thing you created?
Nothing seems more tragically poetic than dying in the thing you built. Unfortunately, Thomas Andrews, the Irish architect who was the principal designer for the Titanic, had to be among the famous people who died on the Titanic. Having had success in his career as a naval architect, Thomas died on his ship’s last voyage.

4. John Jacob Astor

With a net worth of US$87,000,000, John Jacob Astor died as the richest man on the Titanic. The 48-year-old millionaire helped in building the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City. Astor wore many hats, from an inventor to a science fiction novelist to serving in the Spanish-American War, he had done it all. Unfortunately, he was among the famous people who died on the Titanic.

Astor with wife Madeleine had been touring Europe when his wife became pregnant, and she was 18 at that time. Astor wanted his child to be born in the States, so he booked a place on the ill-fated ship.

Unfortunately, his millions couldn’t save him as he was last seen clinging to the side of a raft and ended up being covered in soot from head to toe when the forward funnel fell. Though it crushed him, he went down as a hero when he calmly resigned to his fate as his request for a place on the boat was turned down. He saw to it that his wife and child had reached safety.

Mrs. Astor inherited a $5 million trust fund as well as the use of her husband’s residence after he died. The condition underlying was that she could never remarry, but she gave up her inheritance to marry and divorce — twice more afterward.

    I recently read that the 3 richest of the NY, and industrialists died on the Titanic. The dark history reveals that these men refused to sign the Federal Reserve illegal Act which included federal taxing of Americans and creating the IRS to collect money for them. The Fed Reserve is NOT an American agency. It was formed in secret by the Rothschild bankers and many other elite rich Wall Street bankers and they demanded that all the rich industrialists join them. and keep it all secret. Henry Ford said that IF the American people had realized that they just lost their free country, there would be a civil war. All these Presidents and big politicians have kept it secret, refused to shut down the corrupt FEDs, auto or demand to know who owns the Feds. The deep secret is that the Titanic was sabotaged and cause to perish to kill these main 3 elites who refused to go along with it and were threatening to reveal these evil ones. They were Strauss, Astor (Vanderbilt), and I think the George Denmick Wick. I remembered the first 2 in the video I saw but didn’t know the 3rd one. If there was another richer or in the NY circle, it could be him. Anyway, we need to abolish the Feds now and arrest these evil manipulators and thieves of our finances. Feds are now getting ready to once again pull an economic collapse on America to take more of our middle class wealth while they will be holding the loans, the smaller banks and our debt, and will take all they can like they did in 2008 unless the PEOPLE rise up and demand an accounting and their abolitican!
