The Titanic was designed to carry fewer lifeboats than required by regulations of the time, as its builders believed the ship was practically unsinkable. They prioritized aesthetics and deck space over safety, resulting in only 20 lifeboats, sufficient for about half of the passengers and crew. Additionally, there was a prevailing belief that lifeboats would be unnecessary because of the ship's advanced safety features. Tragically, this decision contributed to the high loss of life during the disaster.
Around 700. 1,500 did got get into the lifeboats, because, there was no room for them, and they froze to death in the icy waters, held up by their life preservers.
so they could produce more babies and have more people.lol
20 in each
Steel lifeboats can only hold up to six to eight people, but most lifeboats can hold a lot more than that. :D
The bottom of the ocean.
More efforts were put in to avoid collisions such as detectors like sonars and radars, more lifeboats, and even emergency escape plans
Regulations at the time did not require placing the number of lifeboats to fit the ship's capacity. In addition, the White Star Line felt adding more lifeboats would make the ship more cluttered, so no more were added.
There was 20 lifeboats on the Titanic. My opinion is that they should have had more lifeboats because people travelled on Her for a reason.
No.
1,500 people
Lol Depends how many more lifeboats were on the ship. The reason there werent enough lifeboats onboard was because mr Ismay (The builder of the ship) didnt want to put any more lifeboats on because it made the ship look ugly.
Yes.
