Were the survivors of the Titanic paid? That contention was later upheld by a British court. It wasn't until July 1916, more than four years after the Titanic sank, that White Star and all the U.S. plaintiffs came to a settlement. White Star agreed to pay $665,000 -- about $430 for each life lost on the Titanic.
