How many life boats were needed to save the people on the Titanic?
Alexander Carlisle proposed 64 lifeboats for the Olympic-Class vessels (including Titanic) which was reduced to 48, then to 32, but only 16 were installed (enough for only 1,178 people if all boats were filled). Thomas Andrews insisted on the extra 4 collapsibles which saved more people, including Bruce Ismay who escaped in collapsible C.
it was designed to have 32 life boats but then it was decided to have 20 because 32 life boats took up to much space on the deck.
At The Most 40 Life Boats At The Least 38
The 20 lifeboats that ended up on board the luxury liner were approximately half the amount required to handle the potential evacuation of the more than 2,000 passengers and crew members onboard. While the managing director of theshipbuilding company, Harland and Wolff, wanted to have 64 lifeboats on board, the justification for omitting them was the concern, expressed by the Titanic's owner, that an excess of lifeboats would have made the ship less visually appealing
The lifeboats comprised 16 wooden lifeboats with a capacity of 65 persons each and 4 collapsible lifeboats with a capacity of 47 persons each.

The Titanic had 29 boilers constantly burning coal. There were three functioning funnels on the Titanic, directly connected to the boilers. Each of the three active funnels served two boiler rooms.

For all the Children who are Ruined by shame
Mirror child
The image of a precious dove
Dancing barefoot on the beach
Drinking in love and sunshine
full of smiles
never having to die.
Mere child
Dreaming awhile on a school title
Learning to carry books for miles.
Crayons, pencils, stencils
Nothing you need to do but
Sing and carry the wind on
Your wings.
Mirror child
Like daddy or mommy
Carrying so many burdens for
A little person
All the time
Not able
To catch the spies and
Spiders.
Go back to the skies,
Little dove
And play with the eagles who tamed this land
Until you are a spirit so good and pure
That you will truly guide the directions of our
Bloodied hands.

What do you call a female captain of a ship?
There is a lot of sexism in the field of piracy. Most pirates at the present time come from Somalia, which is a Muslim nation in which women do not enjoy the same rights as men. I am not aware that there has ever been such a thing as a female pirate captain. On the other hand, pirates make their own rules. I see no reason why it would be impossible for a woman to recruit a crew (most likely an all female crew) and acquire a ship of some sort, and set forth to plunder the seas, just as male pirates do. I don't recommend it, however, it could be done, at least in principle.

Economy of size, and luxury.
A peculiarity in shipping is that when a ship is made bigger, its carrying capacity increase more than the cost of operating the ship. So for hauling freight, bigger is just about always better - as long as you can still get in and out of ports OK.
For human passengers, there is also the luxury and novelty angle. A bigger ship will move more calmly in the sea, and can offer better living conditions on board. Bigger cabins, bigger restaurants, promenade decks and things like that.
TheTitanic was so large in size, so it would attract costumers and to fit everyone and everything on it. (State rooms, restaurants, lounges, swimming pool, gymnasium, grand staircases, life boats, chairs, beds, silver ware, crew and passengers.
