In 1912, maritime safety regulations mandated that ships must carry a minimum of lifeboats sufficient for at least one-third of the total number of passengers and crew on board. However, the RMS Titanic, which famously sank that year, carried only 20 lifeboats, enough for about half of those on board, despite having the capacity for more. This was in excess of the legal requirements at the time, highlighting a significant oversight in safety preparedness.
