The aft end of a ship, the stern, will usually have a steering gear for each rudder. There will usually be mooring equipment on deck. Many ships have free-fall lifeboat davits mounted on teh stern as well. There will usually be an aft peak ballast tank.
The number of lifeboat spaces on a ship varies depending on the vessel's design and regulations. For example, the RMS Titanic was equipped with lifeboats for about 1,178 people, despite having over 2,200 passengers and crew on board. Modern ships are required to have enough lifeboat capacity to accommodate all individuals on board, in compliance with safety regulations. Always refer to specific vessel specifications for accurate lifeboat capacities.
That totally depends on the size of the lifeboats. Small ones might fit 30, but the ones on some of the big cruise ships can fit 370+.
Violet Jessop (a first-class stewardess who survived on lifeboat 16) mentions in her journal that there was a ships cat named Jenny and that Jenny had a litter.
