Were there enough life jackets for everybody on the titanic?

Not even close. She had 20 but mathematically, to fit everyone, she would have needed 51.There were not enough by half. Between the 20 lifeboats installed, there were seats enough for 1,178 people. As it is, there were 2,208 passengers and crew but she was still sailing light. The disparity between her capacity and lifeboat capacity was 2.369.Not even close. The disparity between her capacity and lifeboat capacity was 2.369. She also sailed at 60% of her capacity so if she were full, the death-toll would have been much higher.In the time of Titanic the number of lifeboats a ship needed was based on the tonnage. Titanic could legally sail with only enough lifeboat space for less that a third of the passengers. Titanic had enough lifeboats for a bit less than half so Titanic had more lifeboats that the law said she needed.The reason ships did not need lifeboats for all the passengers is because the transatlantic routes were heavily shipped and it was thought that a ship would always be close by and lifeboats would be used to ferry people between the two ships.The Titanic did have space for another row of lifeboats because the directors of the White Star Line did think that the law on the amount of lifeboats was going to be updated so they put in new davits that could hold another row of lifeboats so if it was updated they could keep the davits that were already on the ship.no they did not so it was women and children first.
