The RMS Carpathia
The survivors of the sinking of Titanic were rescued by the Carpathia.
The Carpathia rescued the Titanic passenegers that were in lifeboats.
Large ships carry lifeboats because large ships occasionally sink. Lifeboats can carry the people who were on the large ships until they either reach land or can be rescued by another boat.
The R.M.S Carpathia docked in new york on the 18th April 1912 at Pier 54 with the survivors from the R.M.S Titanic and then took the recovered lifeboats to Pier 59.

Most people in the lifeboats of Titanic did not return to rescue other passengers out of self-preservation. They were afraid they'd be dragged down, as a drowning swimmer might do to an other swimmer. Two lifeboats, #4 and #14 DID return, however, and safely pulled people out, but many people were hotly disputing the possibility, famously boat 6, and Boxhall's two boats.
Titanic kept her lifeboats, appropriately enough, on her boat deck.
In total, Fifth Officer Harold Godfrey Lowe rescued 17 survivor's. 4 from the icy waters and 13 from Collapsible A.
Titanic's lifeboats were stored on what was appropriately called "the boat deck".
Cause: The fisherman's boat sank. Effect: The fisherman had to be rescued.
The rescue ship was the Cunard-Line Carpathia who was captained by Arthur Rostron.
There was simply no more time. The capacity of the lifeboats is almost academic because the last boat was floated off, one could even say that Titanic sunk from under the last boat.
