On the Titanic they were tested for the weight of 70 adult men. However, even at full capacity there would not have been enough room for every person aboard. Maritime law has changed since then and there must be enough room on lifeboats for every living soul aboard a ship.
Titanic's fourteen standard lifeboats, at 30 ft. long, could fit about 70 people if need be. The two cutters and four Englehardts were slightly smaller and thus could carry slightly fewer people.
There were 712 survivors of Titanic in the lifeboats.
Titanic carried 20 lifeboats, enough for 1178 people.
the people that were rich got on the lifeboats frist and there were 201 rich people but just childrenand woman got on the boat and man did not
There was 20 lifeboats on the Titanic. My opinion is that they should have had more lifeboats because people travelled on Her for a reason.

That totally depends on the size of the lifeboats. Small ones might fit 30, but the ones on some of the big cruise ships can fit 370+.
Most of them could fit over 60 people but a few had less capacity.

Even though the lifeboats could fit up to 20 people, they weren't sure of how much weight the lifeboats could handle.
