What was the survival status of all people aboard the Titanic?
I currently cannot answer any questions regarding the crew or staff that were aboard the Titanic. The dataset I am using only includes information on passengers that were aboard the Titanic. Consequently, there is no information for any crew or staff members that were aboard. Therefore, if I wanted to ask a question regarding the survival status of all those aboard the Titanic I would be unable to do so.
3. The Dataset I need
The dataset I need to answer the questions above would have to contain all information regarding the crew/staff aboard the Titanic. The dataset I am currently using is based on data collected from Encylopedia Titanica's records. Encylopedia Titanic does have a complete database that includes information for both the passengers and the crew however it is only available with the purchase of annual membership of £10.00. I would initially attempt to contact the organization through their webpage explain my reasoning for wanting the data and ask for access to their database for free. Alternatively, if this were to fail I would pay the £10.00 for access which is equivalent to approximately $18 CDN.
Other questions I could ask if I were able to obtain this data:
- What percentage of crew members survived?
- What is the difference in survival for passengers vs. crew?
Hi Hannah. I liked that you have a simple, easy to read visualization with a clear legend for the colours you used. I like that you had more than one data question you want answered. This is definitely an interesting topic and it's good to recognize the limitations of data that only concerns the passengers, when there were so many crew members as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah, I really like your visualization, very easy to read. The only suggestion that I would make is maybe bolding the "1st Class, 2nd Class, 3rd Class" and assigning a different colour to each. Aside from that, I enjoyed your update and you asked a meaningful question. Good job
ReplyDeleteThe charts you made are super easy to read and overall well done. I really love the questions you are wanting to know, would be interesting to know more information about the crew that was on board.
ReplyDeleteYour visualization is very simple and easy to understand; readers will be able to see your point easily. It really reinforces the classic trope of men putting women and children on life rafts first.
