Too many lifeboats were deemed unnecessary because they were seen as only being used to transport passengers from ship-to-ship, not as autonomous life-saving craft.
There were only 20 lifeboats on the Titanic. They thought lifeboats looked bad, and said the Titanic was unsinkable, so they decided they were unneeded. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a very bad decision.
Lifeboats are a thing, so it is a noun.
so they could produce more babies and have more people.lol
All the lifeboats were discharged but there was nowhere to go so they waited for help.
There should have been at least 20 lifeboats and the lifeboats the titanic released that night where not all the way full so a lot of people died more than necessary.
The Titanic was a tragedy in that there were twenty lifeboats that went down only half full of passengers. Those twenty lifeboats were only enough to hold half again of the total occupation of the entire ship. Today's ships must have enough lifeboats to carry each and every person riding the ship.
there was 12 lifeboats.
16 lifeboats 16 lifeboats plus 4 collapsibles
No, Titanic had twenty lifeboats.
No, there were only 20 lifeboats.
Were are the lifeboats kept when not in use?
Lifeboats were needed in case of a disaster out at sea and since the Titanic hit an iceberg, an evacuation was necessary. 20 lifeboats were onboard; 16 wooden ones and 4 collapsible. There was supposed to be 36 but the number was shortened because the deck looked crowded and "unsightly" with so many. And people didn't think that a ship that supposedly unsinkable would need so many lifeboats onboard.
