Titanic Competition Dataset: https://www.kaggle.com/c/titanic

Normally, Kaggle competition provides at least three files:

the training data (for classification, the target is included)
the testing data (you need to predict the target)
sample submission file (show you the format of your submission file)

Go to Titanic site and download the three files.
