The Ship only had 24 Lifeboats
Safety measures were a lot laxer in the 18th and 19th centuries than they are today. During the construction of the Titanic, its engineers believed they created an unsinkable vessel that would be the epitome of safety and luxury; unfortunately, so much confidence can only lead to lapses.
The ship only had 24 lifeboats during its maiden voyage, and considering the number of people on board, it should have had at least 64. The crew reportedly didn’t want to clutter the deck so they only brought 24 lifeboats on it.
