How much space was there left on the lifeboats on the titanic?
On the Titanic, there were not enough lifeboats to accommodate all passengers and crew; the ship carried 20 lifeboats, which could hold about 1,178 people, while over 2,200 were on board. This left a significant number of individuals without space in the lifeboats during the evacuation. Many lifeboats were launched partially filled, as there was confusion and chaos during the sinking, and some people were hesitant to leave the ship. Ultimately, a considerable amount of lifeboat capacity went unused due to these circumstances.

The lifeboats were designed to hold 40 people, but many were launched only partly full.

Why were they only 20 lifeboats on the Titanic?
Several reasons. Regulations at the time set the number and capacity of the lifeboats according to tonnage - not number of passengers - so as far as governments and authorities were concerned, Titanic was OK. The owners thought that the full number of lifeboats would have made the ship ugly, cluttered. The engineers meant that with the number of different "water proof" compartments, the ship would remain afloat long enough even in a bad accident for the boats they had to be able to ferry all passengers into safety. There was a safety limit to how many lifeboats a ship could carry. Actually, the Titanic was carrying more lifeboats than it should have been, and there still weren't enough. They removed some of the lifeboats because they thought it looked too cluttered and they thought that it was unsinkable so they didn't think that they would need them. * *
Since the RMS Titanic was so grand why did it have only 20 lifeboats?
It only had 20 lifeboats because the ship builders thought it would be "unsinkable" and a waste of deck space. There were supposed to be 64 lifeboats as planned but they believed that it wouldn't sink. It also took a lot of deck space. Also they thought that first class need much more deck space than the other classes.
