Yes, this was true. The officers, in asking Captain Smith about getting the women and children to the boats, the captain acknowledged the question. However, they interpreted his response to mean either "women and children first", or "women and children only". So, on one side lifeboats were lowered if there were no women and children nearby, while on the other side, only a small amount of men were allowed on board if all the nearby women and children are already on board. As a consequence, 82% of the males on Titanic died.
Eventually. But first they had to do women and children.
Women and children first, then some males.
Yes because when the titanic started sinking, the women and the children were the first to get on the boats, the men were last so they could help the people on the boats.
female because the women and children got on the life boats first
of corse! the women and children were the only ones aloud on the life boats!
He helped the women and children get on life boats but refused to go himself.
on titanic all women and children first then some of the men can go in some of the life boats that where left and other men could squish in.
There was 16 boats on titanic! It was actually against the law to not have that many boats on board the titanic, so it was women and children who went on first! And the rest left behind......... So as you see this is the information for your question! Good luck! ~From Coolcats1234!
more men died because the only had a limited supply of lifeboats so they let the women and children aboard the life boats first so by the time women and children were boarding the life boats the titanic sank leaving many men still on board
On the Titanic the captain decided to use a women and children first protocol where seats in the limited number of lifeboats would be given to women first and any remaining space once the women were loaded to men. Some of the officers on the Titanic misheard this and tried to stop any man who tried to get on a lifeboat.
Of the 545 women-and-children sailing Titanic, 389 of them survived.
a couple of children and women survived by going on life boats
