There was a total of 712 survivors,scattered among the twenty lifeboats.
If you want a breakdown of each individual boat, the book "On A Sea Of Glass", which is highly recommended, discusses that in detail
Most of the lifeboats were half full, because the first class passengers did not want the second and/or the third class passengers in with them. The first class passengers thought they were too good to be sitting next to second and/or third class passengers.Approximately 750 passengers survived the sinking of the Titanic; and approximately 1450 passengers lost their lives.Judy K.There are some decent breakdowns of the people on each lifeboat. From Encyclopedia Titanica, for example, and the book "On a Sea of Glass", but bear in mind that many passengers were transferred in Fifth Officer Lowe's rescue mission (from lifeboat 14) and also that about thirty people from overturned lifeboat B were taken onto lifeboats 4 and 12.
It depended on the lifeboat, but it ranged from 40 to 60 people per lifeboat. Later on, after the ship sank and the lifeboats were sharing the loads and finding more people, some were filled past their limits for a time until the load could be spread out more.
While most lifeboats filled with survivors put distance between themselves and the sinking ship, Lifeboat 14 went back and rescued some of the survivors who were in the ocean. Going back to rescue survivors in the water posed a significant risk to the occupants of the lifeboat, as the masses of survivors drowning in the water could overcome the lifeboat and drown everyone. As a result, the leader of the lifeboat, a man named Harold Lowe, decided to wait until the screams of those drowning had grown quiet before going to rescue what few survivors they could. They eventually pulled 4 people out of the icy water, one of whom died soon after. Lifeboat 14 was reportedly the only lifeboat that went back to rescue survivors.
Titanic's fourteen standard lifeboats, at 30 ft. long, could fit about 70 people if need be. The two cutters and four Englehardts were slightly smaller and thus could carry slightly fewer people.
This is more of a random fact, but the reason why there weren't enough boats on the Titanic was because a few years before a boat had sunk and there were too many life boats, so the designers only outfitted life boats on the Titanic for decoration more than anything else, as they thought it would never sink. The Titanic was designed to hold 32 lifeboats, it was eventually paired down to twenty. Lifeboat number 6 was designed to hold 65 people. For more info visit the link below.

No, Not Every Lifeboat was filled, It has been said a boat was filled with 11. Also many boats were broke during the rush of the passengers and crew trying to get to safety

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.
For each person in the lifeboat: food - 0,5kg and water - 3kg.
There was lifeboat accommodation for only 180 people after the collision with the rock because most of the life boats had been damaged. Only three lifeboats were in a useful condition and each of them were having room for only 60 people.
At least 45 passengers
In the Titanic each life boat could hold up to 6757564 people, so in my opinion the film is stupid as they didn't save everybody!
The capacity of a cruise ship lifeboat typically ranges from 100 to 150 people, depending on its size and design. Some larger lifeboats can accommodate up to 200 passengers. Each lifeboat is equipped to ensure safety and compliance with maritime regulations, providing enough space for both passengers and crew in case of an emergency.
