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.
