There were 712 survivors in Titanic's lifeboats.
If you are referring to the Titanic's Lifeboat 13, there were 54 aboard. The capacity was 65. There were at least 14 male passengers aboard. Source: http://www.icyousee.org/titanic.html
When the last lifeboat was launched, roughly 1,500 people were still on Titanic. This number is uncertain because many people were already in the water and some of the living were pulled into boats.
D9 was the lifeboat J.M.Brown escaped the Titanic on.

Answer The Titanic carried 20 lifeboats with a capacity of about 1,200 people. However, many of them were not full when launched e.g. the first lifeboat launched had only 28 passengers whilst its capacity was 65. The ship's capacity was 3,547 people.
Lifeboat number 1 carried 5 passengers and 7 crew members, making it a total of 12 people. The lifeboat's capacity was about 45. It was later speculated that the 5 passengers, since they were mostly all from one family, had bribed Officer Murdoch (the officer who launched the boat) to give them a lifeboat all to themselves. This family, the Duff-Gordons, later paid all the crew members in the lifeboat for their lost wages and supplies when the ship sank, and thus people took this as a bribe. In truth, there was no bribery, it was simply kindness taken out of context by the media, and Officer Murdoch launched the boat because the ship was starting to sink fast, and no other people were nearby. He had to get the next lifeboat ready. So, lifeboat 1 had the fewest people, with 12 passengers and crew.
Most of the lifeboats were half full, because the first class passengers did not want the second and/or the third class passengers in with them. The first class passengers thought they were too good to be sitting next to second and/or third class passengers.Approximately 750 passengers survived the sinking of the Titanic; and approximately 1450 passengers lost their lives.Judy K.There are some decent breakdowns of the people on each lifeboat. From Encyclopedia Titanica, for example, and the book "On a Sea of Glass", but bear in mind that many passengers were transferred in Fifth Officer Lowe's rescue mission (from lifeboat 14) and also that about thirty people from overturned lifeboat B were taken onto lifeboats 4 and 12.
