The Titanic carried passengers from various social classes and backgrounds. Wealthy Americans like Molly Brown and Colonel John Jacob Astor were among the first class passengers, while the Hart family were second class emigrants. Other notable passengers included the Countess of Rothes, who bravely took charge of a lifeboat, Benjamin Guggenheim who went down like a "gentleman", and Isidor and Ida Straus who refused to be separated as the ship sank. While famous passengers are remembered through records and photographs, there were also hundreds of ordinary people on board who would only be known to their families, such as the Goodwin family who did not make it off the ship in time.
