The problem was that there ware far too few of them. There were twenty aboard, although Titanic had the capacity to carry 48. The twenty lifeboats could only have carried 52% of Titanic's passengers, although when launched during the disaster many were woefully underfilled.
There was 20 lifeboats on the Titanic. My opinion is that they should have had more lifeboats because people travelled on Her for a reason.
The lifeboats of Titanic were made of wood with metal oarlocks.
Titanic had standard lifeboats, she had collapsibles (Englehardts), and cutters.
There were 712 survivors of Titanic in the lifeboats.
There should have been at least 20 lifeboats and the lifeboats the titanic released that night where not all the way full so a lot of people died more than necessary.

Titanic kept her lifeboats, appropriately enough, on her boat deck.
Two answers: 1. Give Titanic more than enough lifeboats... 2. AVOID THE ICEBERG!!!!
No, there were only 20 lifeboats.
Titanic's lifeboats were stored on what was appropriately called "the boat deck".

Steel lifeboats can only hold up to six to eight people, but most lifeboats can hold a lot more than that. :D
All three classes, and members of the crew,, got into lifeboats on the Titanic.
