How many lifeboats were on the Titanic?
The Titanic was originally fitted with 16 davits, each with 4 lifeboats, which was more than enough for everyone on board. The White Star Line (Ismay) ordered the removal of three lifeboats per davit, leaving only 16 lifeboats, as the line claimed the full 64 lifeboats made the ship look bad. After the Titanic sank, her two sister ships, Olympic and Britannic, were both fitted with the full 64 lifeboats.There were 14 wooden lifeboats with a capacity of 65 persons each, 4 collapsible lifeboats with a capacity of 47 persons each, and 2 rescue cutters with a capacity of 40 persons each, for a total of 20 lifeboats. There were also 3500 lifebelts aboard and 48 life rings, but they were useless in the icy water. Amazingly there were more lifeboats aboard than required by the Board of Trade. The Board of Trade only required enough lifeboats on board to hold 1,060 persons. Titanic's lifeboats held a capacity of 1,178 persons, more than required by law in 1912. This was because the lifeboat law was based on the ship's weight, not on the ship's number of passengers. Through this disaster, we learned that the laws need to be changed.Emergency Lifeboats x 2Wood cutter25 ft. 2 in. Long7 ft. 2 in.

What is the relevance of the Titanic for us today of the Titanic?
What we have learned from Titanic is to have number of lifeboats for every one on board. Don't steer a ship too fast when you're going around ice bergs. Don't let lifeboats leave off half full. When Titanic's crew were rescuing passengers and they said women and children first-they usually meant 1st class women and children. Murdoch suggested some men in a lifeboat. 2nd officer Lightoller was the one that said "women and children only." Mainly 1st class women and 2nd class women and children were spared as well as few 1st class men. 2nd class men were the ones that stayed behind and let their wives and children board the lifeboat. Steerage were the last to be rescued. Half of steerage were rescued. Most of the steerage as well as famalies were left on the sinking ship.
