As a matter of fact, not one but two lifeboats did pick up people - 4 and 14.
But out of self-preservation, many people on most of the lifeboats opted not to return because of an anticipated suction of the sinking ship (which never happened) and a fear of hysterical passengers.
This was also hotly debated on more than a few boats.
What else can I help you with?
How were the survivors rescued from the sea?
1-2 lifeboats (not quite sure sorry) went back and found around 6 people still alive in the frozen water. The sad thing is that only 1-2 went back and some of the lifeboats were not full and there would not be enough spaces for all of the passengers even if the lifeboats were full.

Why didn't they go back to rescue the drowning people in the Titanic?
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.
Why did not very many people survive the 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.
How many people can the titanic lifeboats hold?
Titanics lifeboats were estimated to carry as many as 70 people but the last one, lifeboats D fully had about 75 after taking off passengers from overturned lifeboat B.The Titanic had three types of lifeboats, the standard lifeboat had 14 of these with a capacity of 68, but I would imagine more were able to fit into them when the Titanic was sinking.The second type of lifeboat was the "emergency cutters" which were used for events such as a man overboard. The Titanic had 2 of these with the capacity of 40 people each.The third and final lifeboat was the "Englehardt Collapsible Life Boat". These were canvas sided boats that could be folded up and stored against the walls of the Titanic, there were 4 of these on board with a capacity of 48.Between 40 and 65 persons - dependant upon boat typeThe Titanic was provided with 20 boats; all situated on the boat deck.Fourteen of these boats were lifeboats, hung inboard on davits (7 on port side, 7 on starboard side). These boats were designed to carry 65 persons each.Two were emergency boats, also hanging in davits, situated outboard, both port and starboard. They were designed to carry 40 persons each.The remaining four boats were of the collapsible variety, known as Englehardt. Two of these were stowed on the boat deck and two were on the roof of the officers' quarters, and were designed to carry 47 persons each.The total boat accommodation was 1178 persons.Source: The British Report into the wreck of the Titanic (1912).Main lifeboats had a capacity of 65 people and collapsible lifeboats had a capacity of 40 people.The lifeboats comprised 16 wooden lifeboats with a capacity of 65 persons each and four collapsible lifeboats with a capacity of 47 persons each.They say up to 65 men.there was 44 people approximately, some of them holding on to the sides. in all the life boats, there was 706 survivors.the weight of 70 men and 65 peopleThe 16 full sized lifeboats could hold 65 people and the collapsible lifeboats could hold 40 people.30 to 36Titanic carried 16 full size lifeboats that could hold 65 people on each boat. There were 4 collapsible life boats that could hold 47 people each. A total of 1228 people could have survived with the 20 lifeboats titanic carried. Given the possibility of squeezing extra people in without capsizing, a possible number could have been 1300.With today's fat people though, less would have been saved.Well, according to the Titanic movie, about 21 or 22 passengers could fit on the lifeboats. Then again, people rowed back to the scene to try to find passengers that were still alive.

How long did they search for survivors and bodies of people from the titanic after it sunk?

Three Canadian ships picked up 333 dead bodies. a passing ship picked up 5 dwad bodies and 3 were found in a collapable lfeboat. The Carpathia also beried 5 people they picked up when getting people out of the lifeboats.
Why weren't more people rescued from the Titanic?
The report state that some of the lifeboats were discharged half full. Many passengers as the ship listed more severely jumped in to the sea to try and swim away from the vessel because as something that big sinks it causes a water vacuum which would drag those nearby in. Reports state that some crew who manned the lifeboats did take on and rescue some people but some refused to go back as they feared that the those in the water would over load the lifeboats sinking them as well. It was also an issue of water temperature. At the time the water was somewhere near 5 degrees. People getting into the water often didnt survive more that ten to fifteen minutes as they suffered hypothermia. The report case logged some 315 bodies recovered nearly all were still on the surface and had not drowned.
