Originally, Titanic's designer,Alexander Carlisle, proposed 64 lifeboats which was reduced to 48, then 32, but only 16 were installed, enough for only 1,178 people if all boats were filled. Thomas Andrews insisted on the extra 4 collapsibles which saved more people, including Bruce Ismay who escaped in collapsible C!
