To carry passengers across the seas to where they had to go, like a ferry & also for shipping merchandise
Regulations at the time did not require ships to be equipped with enough lifeboats to carry all passengers. The lifeboats were typically used to ferry passengers from a ship in distress to a rescuing ship. The Titanic had actually carried more lifeboats than what regulations required, but still only able to accomodate half the passengers. The White Star Line also didn't want more boats, as they felt it made the decks look too cluttered and it obstructed the view for the passengers.
Only if the instructing licensed driver is also in the car at the same time.
Steamships were used to carry passengers up rivers, in this case mainly paddle steamers. They were also used to carry cargo. Some-coal-powered and later oil-powered steamers-were built to carry both cargo and passengers across greater distances.

Yes and no - Navy vessels can't transport passengers in the same way passenger ships do (for hire). However, civilians in many capacities often ride Navy ships and submarines for a variety of reasons. The most common are tech riders, shipyard workers, other government employees (non-military), and the occasional dependents' cruise. A Navy vessel (we'll ignore the boat/ship distinction for purposes of this discussion) might also be directed to carry civilians for humanitarian reasons (marine rescue, evacuation, etc.).
Let us say that we have an empty airplane that weighs 3400 pounds. It is going to carry 30 passengers, who have an average weight of 180 pounds per passenger, and each passenger is also going to carry an additional 20 pounds of luggage. What will the airplane weigh with all passengers and luggage aboard?
Carpathias passengers were incredibly helpful. They voluntarily donated much of their spare clothing, for example. They also did not interfere with the ships change-of-plans. The vessel was heading towards the Mediterranean and Capt. Rostron turned her around back to New York.
