False
First class passengers were the first allowed in the lifeboats with most lifeboats admitting women and children first then filling the remaining seats with any other first class men.
The upper class passengers were allowed to enter the lifeboats first and the titanic didn't carry enough lifeboats for all the passengers because it was thought to be "unsinkable".
The crew began loading the first lifeboats approximately 20 minutes after the Titanic struck the iceberg. Initially, there was confusion and disbelief about the severity of the situation, which delayed the evacuation process. As the reality of the sinking set in, crew members started to load passengers into the lifeboats, but the overall response was hampered by inadequate training and the ship's insufficient number of lifeboats.
As the Titanic sank, crew members and passengers made frantic attempts to save lives by launching lifeboats, though many were filled to only half capacity due to chaos and disbelief about the severity of the situation. The ship's crew called for women and children to board the lifeboats first, prioritizing their safety. Additionally, some passengers and crew members tried to help others get into lifeboats or organized evacuation efforts. Despite these efforts, many were unable to escape, leading to a tragic loss of life.
first class because they were at the top of the ship
The lifeboats werent full on the Titnaic because they were concerned they couldnt carry the weight and also the first class passengers refused to sit with 3rd class passengers
In the Titanic disaster, many third-class passengers faced significant obstacles in accessing the lifeboats. Due to a combination of language barriers, confusion about the evacuation process, and physical separation from the upper decks, a large number of them were unable to board the lifeboats. While some third-class passengers did manage to escape, the overall survival rate for them was much lower compared to first-class passengers. Ultimately, social class played a critical role in who was able to reach safety.
Seventy-five percent of the third-class passengers died because there were insufficient third-class lifeboats and could not readily reach them. It has also been alleged they were deliberately prevented from escape.
yes because in those times women were more important
Lifeboats were filled according to the principle of "women and Children first."
The rule was that the 1st class passengers got the priority of getting off the ship first due to the fact that they paid £870 just to stay on the HMS Titanic.
When the Titanic hit the ice cap the bottom started to leak first which happened to be where the saftey equiptment was. The water was freezing so if they went down they may have escaped drowning and died of nuemonia instead, either way they would have died.
