Did anyone help the people from the titanic?
yes, there were a bunch of mermaids that flew around saving as many people as possible
Why did the white star lines put so few life boats on the titanic?
the white star line put about 14 lifeboats on titanic, the law back then was 12, so they thought they were safe with only 2 over the law. but on titanic, 2 more life boats didnt help. hope it helps
Why didn't they have more lifeboats on the Titanic?
It was widely believed to be unsinkable. The design and construction were supposedly such that the risk of sinking was considered virtually nil. See the Snopes page linked below.Not only did they not have enough life boats, but they were not filled properly. For example, lifeboat 2 had 28 people when it could hold 65.The life boats were actually designed to be able to be stacked inside of each other, but the people who put them on board thought that the deck would look too cluttered if they put the required number of life boats on board.there was not any space on the titanic to fit all the ship.!!!!Today, it seems baffling that the number of lifeboats on the Titanic met maritime standards. Representations about the Titanic's then-advanced design have been reduced to misleading sound bites and conflated with details of a strangely-prescient 19th century novel about a strikingly similar disaster befalling a purportedly unsinkable ship ("The Titan"). This has led to the meme that because the Titanic was considered "unsinkable," she didn't carry enough lifeboats.The Titanic was actually claimed to be disaster proof rather than unsinkable. The notion was that even if the Titanic sank, it would take so long to do so, and proceed in such a way, no lives would be lost apart from any lost in the initial collision, explosion or other incident leading to the event. Her sister ship, the Olympic, had collided with a Royal Naval warship and made it back to port. (The warship fared far worse.)The reason the Titanic's maiden voyage became a famous disaster nonetheless was because of lethal miscalculations in a literal, mathematical sense. Had the Titanic's structure coped with the impact as engineers were certain it would, the famous tilt into the ocean and rapid submersion would never have happened. Both the rate at which she sank, and as importantly the stability and level of the ship as she went down, would have been far less drastic.Because she was steaming through well-traveled waters, carrying flares and the most advanced distance communication equipment available, it was assumed that a number of other ships would be on the scene quickly after anything went so terribly wrong. In that case, there were more than enough lifeboats to transfer the passengers and crew.Summarily, the principal error in judgment was made when the engineers over-estimated the genius of their design. The rapid decay in the ship's viability was later traced to specific flaws in the compartmentation of its sub-structure. Loss of life was therefore inevitable absent the greater number of lifeboats that their calculations deemed a waste of space.Secondarily, they made the classic engineers' error of assuming that the interaction of human beings is purely mathematical. (Only military engineers are trained to cope with this under the rubric of the "fog of water.") Two series of stumbles resulting from human fallibility occurred that night. As well documented elsewhere, there was substantial confusion within the sea lanes leading to tragedies such as the nearest vessel either misinterpreting or ignoring the distress flares. Even more lives were lost as a result.Second, many life boats were launched hastily, with ample room left for other passengers. In fairness to the crew, which by accounts performed admirably, they had been trained to expect a rapid response from nearby vessels and had been told the ship would take long enough to sink that several trips would be both possible and necessary.Assigning either evil intent or pure stupidity as the cause of any disaster is tempting. It is comforting, in a way, as it removes the cause from the likes of ourselves and suggests such things are rare and avoidable. The truth makes such events even more tragic, yet more readily understandable.
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 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.
How many boys were put into lifeboats on titanic?
28 males, age 10 or less, survived Titanic. And 26 girls, up to age 10.
What was the total number of people put in all lifeboats on the Titanic?
1,500 people
Why did they think that the titanic was on shinkable?
because it was a beautiful ship but they were so concerned about it not sinking that they 4got to put a lot of lifeboats on
Why was it bad that they put women and children on the lifeboats first for the titanic?
so they could produce more babies and have more people.lol

Do cruise ships have to have lifeboats for everyone on board?
Yes. This rule was actually put into place after the horrors of the Titanic. All ships must have enough lifeboats for everyone on board. Yes my girlfriend thought after titanic 3D that we should tell new ship companies that they must get enough lifeboats. She works for the prison service, so she is comfy with things that have not changed in 100 years. xx Every boat must cater for all, in the event of lifeboats deployed.
Why would the titanic disaster not happen the same way today?
The Titanic sunk because of a misunderstanding. People thought it was such a grand and big boat so they never thought it would sink. Because of this, they did not put enough lifeboats to save any people in case there was an emergency. Out of the more than 2000 people on the Titanic, less than half of them survived.
Why did the white star lines put so few life boats on the titanic?
the white star line put about 14 lifeboats on titanic, the law back then was 12, so they thought they were safe with only 2 over the law. but on titanic, 2 more life boats didnt help. hope it helps
Did they not put as much people on the life boats because they were in a rush on the Titanic?
The lifeboats were only launched half-full due to the officers being afraid of the weight limit
How did the titanic disaster change sea travel?
More efforts were put in to avoid collisions such as detectors like sonars and radars, more lifeboats, and even emergency escape plans
When did the last lifeboat from the titanic arrive in new york?
All of the lifeboats were rounded up and the survivors were put aboard a nearby ship named Carpathia, which took them to New York.
