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.

Those aboard Titanic were ill-prepared for such an emergency.

Could more people have been saved on titanic boats?

If there had been more lifeboats aboard the Titanic, then yes more people could have been saved. There was time and capacity to save more lives even with the original amount of lifeboats, but because of the lack obvious signs of damage and danger, many were reluctant to leave the boat to get on the much smaller lifeboats. The lifeboats were designed to hold 40 people, but many were launched only partly full.

How many people would have been saved if all lifeboats were on the TItanic?

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.


Why did the titanic only have a little lifeboat?

Because the makers of the ship thought that too many large lifeboats would clutter the deck, and not make it as fancy and posh to live on. also they didn't think it was going to sink. The lifeboats were actually quite large, holding up to 70 people each, and would have held the majority of people aboard if they had been filled and launched properly.
