What did the Titanic not have anough of?
The Titanic didn't have enough lifeboats. It had only 20 lifeboats and it was only enough for half of the maximum capacity of passengers and crew, which was 2,435 passengers and 892 crew members. The 20 lifeboats could've only held 1,178 people, but some of the boats were only launched half-full since the crew members thought that too much weight would cause the lifeboats to swamp, or sink

A number of the crew were not adequately trained in evacuation procedures. They were worried that the lifeboats are not able to handle the weight of a full capacity of passengers.

Were there enough lifeboats on the titanic for all passengers?
This is more of a random fact, but the reason why there weren't enough boats on the Titanic was because a few years before a boat had sunk and there were too many life boats, so the designers only outfitted life boats on the Titanic for decoration more than anything else, as they thought it would never sink. The Titanic was designed to hold 32 lifeboats, it was eventually paired down to twenty. Lifeboat number 6 was designed to hold 65 people. For more info visit the link below.

Why were the 1st life boats half empty on titanic?
The first lifeboats could have been left half empty on the Titanic for a variety of reasons. Many of the people first boarding the lifeboats were of the upper class, and they would be more inclined to value their own personal space without regard to the safety of everyone left on the boat. Also, the crew members of the Titanic were having to deal with a state of mass confusion and wanted to finish everything as quickly as possible, and therefore placed people on the lifeboats without determining whether more people could or could not fit. One last reason could be that the crew members put in charge of loading the boats were trying to ensure that they lifeboats did not exceed the maximum weight limit and as a result they did not fill the lifeboats to their full capacity.
