TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Social class and survival on the S.S. Titanic JO - Social science and medicine (1982) A1 - Hall, W. SP - 687 EP - 690 VL - 22 IS - 6 N2 - Passengers' chances of surviving the sinking of the S.S. Titanic were related to their sex and their social class: females were more likely to survive than males, and the chances of survival declined with social class as measured by the class in which the passenger travelled. The probable reasons for these differences in rates of survival are discussed as are the reasons accepted by the Mersey Committee of Inquiry into the sinking.
