How much space was there left on the lifeboats on the titanic?

On the Titanic, there were not enough lifeboats to accommodate all passengers and crew; the ship carried 20 lifeboats, which could hold about 1,178 people, while over 2,200 were on board. This left a significant number of individuals without space in the lifeboats during the evacuation. Many lifeboats were launched partially filled, as there was confusion and chaos during the sinking, and some people were hesitant to leave the ship. Ultimately, a considerable amount of lifeboat capacity went unused due to these circumstances.
