While most lifeboats filled with survivors put distance between themselves and the sinking ship, Lifeboat 14 went back and rescued some of the survivors who were in the ocean. Going back to rescue survivors in the water posed a significant risk to the occupants of the lifeboat, as the masses of survivors drowning in the water could overcome the lifeboat and drown everyone. As a result, the leader of the lifeboat, a man named Harold Lowe, decided to wait until the screams of those drowning had grown quiet before going to rescue what few survivors they could. They eventually pulled 4 people out of the icy water, one of whom died soon after. Lifeboat 14 was reportedly the only lifeboat that went back to rescue survivors.

∙ 11y agoPeople on the Titanic were in panic because women and children were only allowed on the boats and the men either jumped or died. Some people just never even got off, they knew they were going to die and read their kids to sleep or some were couples who went into the after life. Some people froze to death and not many men survived. There were over 6 thousand people when the Titanic went down.

How many boats came back to look for survivors on titanic?
Two of the sixteen lifeboats went back to find survivors. They found 9 people in the water but only 6 survived. The first boat, Lifeboat 4, pulled 5 people from the water but two died in the boat. The second boat, Lifeboat 14, found 4 survivors, but one died in the lifeboat. When asked why they did not go back sooner to help people, Officer Harold Lowe, who headed Lifeboat 14, said "it would have been suicide to go back there until the people had thinned out." He was afraid that those drowning would have overturned or swamped the lifeboat. Including passengers and crew, there were 2,208 people onboard. 1,503 people died, leaving 705 survivors. Only 962 lifeboat seats were required by law, though the Titanic's lifeboats could have held 1,178. There were 472 lifeboat seats that went unused.
