There was enough room in the lifeboats for all the women and children on board. The total number of women and children was 170 while the lifeboats could carry 180 people.

∙ 12y agoYes. There was actually enough room for nearly every passenger- male, female, or child, but keep in mind there was also a crew of 900 some people, and crew were needed to operate the lifeboats. Also taken into consideration that a lot of passengers refused to board thinking Titanic was still safe, many passengers died.
