How many boats came back to look for survivors on titanic?
Two of the sixteen lifeboats went back to find survivors. They found 9 people in the water but only 6 survived. The first boat, Lifeboat 4, pulled 5 people from the water but two died in the boat. The second boat, Lifeboat 14, found 4 survivors, but one died in the lifeboat. When asked why they did not go back sooner to help people, Officer Harold Lowe, who headed Lifeboat 14, said "it would have been suicide to go back there until the people had thinned out." He was afraid that those drowning would have overturned or swamped the lifeboat. Including passengers and crew, there were 2,208 people onboard. 1,503 people died, leaving 705 survivors. Only 962 lifeboat seats were required by law, though the Titanic's lifeboats could have held 1,178. There were 472 lifeboat seats that went unused.

Which ship want to help Titanic?
Alot of ships tryed to help the Titanic. The closest ship to respond was the Carpathia. She could get to Titanic in 4 hours. Many ships to help the Titanic did not go to where Titanic was because they knew they there were closer ships responding e.g Baltic, Verginia and Frankfurt. These ships relayed messages to other ships and to camp race. Titanic's sister ship Olympic also made full steam towards Titanic and asked Titanic's wireless operator if Titanic was moving south to meet her. On the 15th April several more ships arrived to look for survivors including the Mount Temple and the California whose wireless operator had no idea what had happened to the Titanic until the Mount Temple told him what had happened.
Why were they only 20 lifeboats on the Titanic?
Several reasons. Regulations at the time set the number and capacity of the lifeboats according to tonnage - not number of passengers - so as far as governments and authorities were concerned, Titanic was OK. The owners thought that the full number of lifeboats would have made the ship ugly, cluttered. The engineers meant that with the number of different "water proof" compartments, the ship would remain afloat long enough even in a bad accident for the boats they had to be able to ferry all passengers into safety. There was a safety limit to how many lifeboats a ship could carry. Actually, the Titanic was carrying more lifeboats than it should have been, and there still weren't enough. They removed some of the lifeboats because they thought it looked too cluttered and they thought that it was unsinkable so they didn't think that they would need them. * *
Why weren't more life boats put on the Titanic?
Regulations at the time did not require ships to be equipped with enough lifeboats to carry all passengers. The lifeboats were typically used to ferry passengers from a ship in distress to a rescuing ship. The Titanic had actually carried more lifeboats than what regulations required, but still only able to accomodate half the passengers. The White Star Line also didn't want more boats, as they felt it made the decks look too cluttered and it obstructed the view for the passengers.
How many people would have been saved if all lifeboats were on the TItanic?
Lol Depends how many more lifeboats were on the ship. The reason there werent enough lifeboats onboard was because mr Ismay (The builder of the ship) didnt want to put any more lifeboats on because it made the ship look ugly.
