How many life boats were on the titanic?
Answers:
Titanic carried 20 lifeboats, enough for 1178 people. The existing Board of Trade required a passenger ship to provide lifeboat capacity for 1060 people. Titanic's lifeboats were situated on the top deck. The boat was designed to carry 32 lifeboats but this number was reduced to 20 because it was felt that the deck would be too cluttered.
not enough
no where near enough
Clearly there wasn't enough!
Not enough!
Only twenty for 2,227 passengers and crew. Not nearly enough and one of the reasons why only 705 people survived.
i remember the movie said, "not enough by half".
I was not there?
Something like 18? Either way not enough, and I do know this- they lowered some of them only half/partially full, so more people could have gotten out alive.
Not Enough or maybe there was enough but they didn't fill them properly
Only enough to get one third of the passengers and crew off due to bad management and a very foolish belief in construction
42 unbroken
they first carried women and children.
There were 16 boats and 4 collapsibles. Only 4 boats and 2 collapsibles made it to safety
Life Boats: 20
Types: 14 regular, 4 Engelhardt collapsables, 2 emergency
Capacity: 1,178
Well there must have been loads coz my great grandad had one all to himself.
Most members of the crew say there were sixteen life-boats and two collapsibles; none say there were more than twenty boats in all. The 700 escaped filled most of the sixteen life-boats and the one collapsible which got away, to the limit of their capacity.

20 is the correct answer.and as all agreeded.no where near enought..so many lives lost just to save money. Today not much has changed has it ?
Obviously not enough
20
apparently not enogh
There were sixteen regular wooden lifeboats and four Englehardt Collapsible boats, which had plank bottoms and collapsible canvas sides. They were launched by the new Wellin davit, which was capable of launching several rows of lifeboats in succession (take a look at Titanic's sister RMS Olympic when she was painted camoflauge for WWI, you'll see 4 or 5 rows of lifeboats on deck). Total capacity: Around 1,158 people.
