Were women and children only allowed on the life boats on Titanic?
Yes, this was true. The officers, in asking Captain Smith about getting the women and children to the boats, the captain acknowledged the question. However, they interpreted his response to mean either "women and children first", or "women and children only". So, on one side lifeboats were lowered if there were no women and children nearby, while on the other side, only a small amount of men were allowed on board if all the nearby women and children are already on board. As a consequence, 82% of the males on Titanic died.
