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.
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.
Titanic carried 20 lifeboats, enough for 1178 people.
The full sized lifeboats could hold 65 people and the collapsible lifeboats could hold 40 people.
The Titanic carried 20 lifeboats enough for 1178people.They were legally required to carry enough lifeboats to carry 1060 people.The boat was designed to be able to carry 32 lifeboats, but did not as it would have made the top deck too cluttered.So all in all the Titanic carried the correct amount of lifeboats.To save every person on the ship there would have had to be, 40 lifeboats.

Even though the lifeboats could fit up to 20 people, they weren't sure of how much weight the lifeboats could handle.
They feared that the lifeboats could overcrowd and capsize.

Titanic carried 20 lifeboats and they could hold 52% of the people on board. That was more lifeboat capicity than the law at the time required!
I believe 15 or 20
The first lifeboats could have been left half empty on the Titanic for a variety of reasons. Many of the people first boarding the lifeboats were of the upper class, and they would be more inclined to value their own personal space without regard to the safety of everyone left on the boat. Also, the crew members of the Titanic were having to deal with a state of mass confusion and wanted to finish everything as quickly as possible, and therefore placed people on the lifeboats without determining whether more people could or could not fit. One last reason could be that the crew members put in charge of loading the boats were trying to ensure that they lifeboats did not exceed the maximum weight limit and as a result they did not fill the lifeboats to their full capacity.
Yeah, the titanic could carry about 30000000 dildos
