The Survivors
The photograph depicts a group of people who were fortunate enough to escape the calamity. Many people died as a result of the cold water temperature, which was believed to be around -2°C. Unfortunately, despite the fact that some passengers were rescued from the ship, many died as a result of their injuries and exposure. This awful event underlines the importance of having travel insurance because one never knows when they will be in a life-threatening circumstance like this one. Despite the unpredictability of life, only about 30% of Americans purchase travel insurance when traveling abroad.

Final Rescue and the Policy
The video footage above shows the last lifeboat used during the Titanic disaster, transporting passengers away from the disaster scene. Sadly, the bulk of the deaths were male passengers, including some staff members who could not be spared. Surprisingly, many third-class passengers were also killed in the disaster. The ship’s “women and children first” policy, on the other hand, ensured that the vast majority of first-class women were saved. A ray of hope shined through as all second-class children were saved. Surprisingly, two Titanic survivors, Arthur John Priest and Violet Jessop, also survived the sinking of the HMHS Britannic, the Titanic’s sister ship.
