Without a doubt, 712 people were rescued the night Titanic sank, but there is still, a century later, some debate about whose lifeboat was which. Researchers like Don Lynch and Peter Engberg have done much research and continue to finalize the tally...but it's near complete.

Titanic was equipped with only 20 lifeboats. She had 14 regular lifeboats with a capacity of 65 people each, 2 emergency lifeboats (Boats 1 and 2, which were stowed in the swung-out position) with a capacity of 40 each, and 4 Englehardt collapsible lifeboats with a capacity of 47 each. The collapsibles had wooden hulls, but with canvas sides that could be cranked up when needed. Collapsibles C and D were stowed inboard of Boats 1 and 2 at the very forward part of the Boat Deck and Collapsibles A and B were stowed upside down on the roof of the Officers' Quarters on either side of #1 funnel.
