How many life boats were supposed to be on the Titanic?

Titanic could hold 46,000 tons of weight. Lifeboats don't way more then a few hundred pounds. If Titanic had 75 lifeboats, each one carrying 40 people, then 3000 people could have lived, titanic had a little more then 2200.Titanics lifeboats were estimated to carry as many as 70 people but the last one, lifeboats D fully had about 75 after taking off passengers from overturned lifeboat B.


How many engines were equiped in titanic?

Three- she had two colossal triple-expansion reciprocating steam engines powering her port and starboard propellers, each one delivering 16,000 horsepower at a rate of 76 r.p.m. Her central propeller was powered by a smaller steam turbine engine, with the same horsepower output but at a rate of 165 r.p.m.Other liners at the time, most particularly Cunard lines vessels such as the Mauretania, were equipped with turbine engines as their main power plants. However, the White Star Line had little experience of these and had to settle for older, but provenly reliable, technology.The Titanic's engines remained in situ when she sank, and can still be seen today in the wreck of her stern section, remaining in place and bolt upright.
