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.

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.
