How were the people rescued from the Titanic?
Out of the 2,227 passengers, 705 of them survived. Most of the 705 were saved by the few lifeboats while some lucky passengers jumped into the cold waters and swam to overturned lifeboatsor other floating objects until their rescue ship arrived
Is the designer of titanic to blame for the sinking?
No. I'd put the blame mostly on the owner of Titanic, The White Star Lines. It's because they prioritized luxury, fame, and money over the safety of the passengers. There were supposed to be 64 lifeboats that would fit the entire whole crew and passengers of the ship, but they lessened it to 16. 64 lifeboats... to 16?!? Since the lifeboats take up space in the ship, they lessened it to make way for more luxury things like cabins and rooms. That's why when the ship sank, not even 1/3 of them survived because of the lack of lifeboats.
How many lifeboats were on board of the Titanic and why weren't there enough for all the passengers?
Titanic carried 20 lifeboats. There weren't enough because opionion was that it made the ship look cluttered, and they weren't expected to be needed anyhow.
How many Titanic lifeboats were rescued?
The Titanic was capable of carrying 64 lifeboats, which would have held more than the maximum allowed capacity of passengers. In order to create less clutter on deck, there were only 20 lifeboats stored. Only 16 of that 20 succeeded in being launched when the ship crashed and most were not filled to even half the capacity allowed.

What is so bad about lifeboats?
Too many lifeboats were deemed unnecessary because they were seen as only being used to transport passengers from ship-to-ship, not as autonomous life-saving craft.
What does lack of lifeboats mean in the Titanic?
well as i know every ship should have enough lifeboats for every passenger on the ship,but the titanic did no so not all the passengers were saved. thanks for reading this****
What was the nearest settlement to the titanic?
there wasn't any land nearby, but the Carpathia ship was close by and rescued the people on the lifeboats.
Why were there not enough lifeboats for all passengers when the titanic hit an iceburg?
The reason there weren't enough lifeboats was because they were stupid! No, but the actual reason was because they though the ship was unsinkable and so there were no need for 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.
Where there more 1rst class 2nd class or 3rd class passengers in the lifeboats of the Titanic?
first class because they were at the top of the ship
Was the Titanic bad?
The Titanic was a tragedy in that there were twenty lifeboats that went down only half full of passengers. Those twenty lifeboats were only enough to hold half again of the total occupation of the entire ship. Today's ships must have enough lifeboats to carry each and every person riding the ship.
