More than 1,500 people died during the sinking of the Titanic. Of its total 2,240 passengers and crew, only 706 people survived.

Since the IIP began its work, no ship that followed its safety lines has hit an iceberg. The Titanic sank because five watertight compartments were breached, which was more than it could handle.
