One, and two halves. There was a Haitian-French man aboard the ship, who was Black. He was married to a French woman (who was White). They had two children (making the two half Black passengers). The family was traveling in second class. When the Titanic sank, like a true gentleman Mr. Joseph Laroche helped his wife, Juliette Laroche and their two daughters into a lifeboat. Mr. Laroche perished that night.
