It did not matter, as U-boats sank the ship very quickly.
There were not enough, because they were not required for every passenger or crew member.
there were 1959 people onboard, 1198 died, and 761 survived in six lifeboats safely launched, overturned boats, chairs, Etc.
The RMS Lusitania
Germany claimed the Lusitania had weapons on board.
the lusitania was very hectic and stressfull
Was the Lusitania carrying ammunition
Because they didn't have to have enough lifeboats on boats in those times. Also, they thought it was unsinkable, so they didn't bother having enough lifeboats. The company said to John Bruce Ismay that people don't pay taxes and high ticket prices for lifeboats, were as Ismay wanted 48, they went with 16.
Yes there were the numbers of them were 1, 11, 13, 15, 19, and 21
48 lifeboats, only six of which were actually launched from the ship.
their were not enough lifeboats for everyone
Yes, all used lifeboats were used on Titanic. This made her unique because she is the only major vessel to sink after having discharged all of her lifeboats. That certainly did not happen for Lusitania, Britannic, the Costa Concordia or anything else.
Titanic kept her lifeboats, appropriately enough, on her boat deck.
Titanic carried 20 lifeboats, enough for 1178 people.
There were 20 lifeboats and that was only enough for half of the ship's maximum capacity.
there were not enough to hold all the passengers
The reason there weren't enough lifeboats was because they were stupid! No, but the actual reason was because they though the ship was unsinkable and so there were no need for them!
obviously not enough
obviously not enough .
