There are 5 pictures of people who were passengers of the Titanic, women among them. Grammatically, the aim of this activity is to let students guess who these people were by using the simple past of the verb "to be". Historically, it is interesting for anyone to see real photos of people of that time and find out how women were employed on the ship.
