Lol Depends how many more lifeboats were on the ship.
The reason there werent enough lifeboats onboard was because mr Ismay (The builder of the ship) didnt want to put any more lifeboats on because it made the ship look ugly.

∙ 14y agoTitanic carried 20 lifeboats, enough for 1200 people. The existing Board of Trade required a passenger ship to provide lifeboat capacity for 1060 people. Titanic's lifeboats were situated on the top deck. The boat was designed to carry 32 lifeboats but this number was reduced to 20 because it was felt that the deck would be too cluttered. So the number that should have been saved if the 32 was there and not the 20 is 1920.

∙ 6y agonot a lot only a few have been saved and over more than 100 people died
Titanic didn't carry enough lifeboats for everyone aboard, and the boats she did have were not filled to capacity. The Titanic would have been within shipping laws with 16 lifeboats, but the original plans called for around 30, enough for about 1,900 people. Bruce Ismay, however, made the decision to remove 10 of these lifeboats in order to provide more room on the boat deck. If the officers lowering the boats had been aware that it was safe to fill them to capacity before lowering them, and had more people believed from the outset that there was a real emergency, at least 400 more people could have been saved.

To have this many, Titanic need 51 lifeboats (she had twenty).

If all the ships lifeboats were filled to capacity how many people could have been saved?
the capacity of the boats on Titanic was 1,178. 2,208 people were sailing her the night of the sinking. If all seats were occupied, then 1030 people would still be on Titanic (as opposed to the 1,496 that really were).
Why were so few people saved from the Titanic?
There were not more survivors on Titanic for several reasons, one of them being that the officers loading the boats were favoring women-and-children over men, resulting in many unnecessarily empty seats . If the officers did not discriminate and simply filled the boats, more people would have been saved.
How many lifeboat seats did the titanic have?
Between the 20 lifeboats installed, there were seats enough for 1,178 people.
How many people would the life boat hold on the Titanic?
Sadly, the Titanic didn't have enough lifeboats, which is part of why so many people died. According to a thorough Wikipedia article, and verified with other historical sources, "Titanic carried a total of 20 lifeboats: 14 standard wooden Harland and Wolff lifeboats with a capacity of 65 people each and four Englehardt "collapsible" lifeboats ... with a capacity of 47 people each."

How many people could have the lifeboats hold on the titanic?
All twenty of Titanic's lifeboats were used one way or another, including the overturned boat B. Some went underfilled but two were discharged with 70 people: boats #11 and #15.
Why would it have been impossible for all the passengers to be saved on the Titanic?
There were more passengers and crew than the lifeboats could hold.
What could have been done to pervent the loss of lives on the titanic?
Most of the people would have survived if they had more lifeboats, and didn't shut the water-tight doors. Not shutting the doors would let the water balance out and not sink one side so that it wouldn't break the titanic in half, and even if that wouldn't work, they would have saved a lot of people if they had more lifeboats.

Did they take lifeboats off of the Titanic?
Yes because they didn't think the Titanic would ever sink and that the sufficient amount of lifeboats would make the deck too cluttered. The people of the White Star Line were more concerned about appearance than about safety
Were there enough lifeboats on the titanic for all passengers?
This is more of a random fact, but the reason why there weren't enough boats on the Titanic was because a few years before a boat had sunk and there were too many life boats, so the designers only outfitted life boats on the Titanic for decoration more than anything else, as they thought it would never sink. The Titanic was designed to hold 32 lifeboats, it was eventually paired down to twenty. Lifeboat number 6 was designed to hold 65 people. For more info visit the link below.
