After the British Board of Trade and the US Senate inquiries, it was decided that for every travel liner, there is to be enough lifeboats for every passenger aboard the vessel. When the Titanic set sail, she had on board twenty lifeboats.

Originally, Titanic carried with her the appropriate amount of lifeboats for every person on board; however, this amount was changed due to the apparent lack of…

One of the first lifeboats to leave the ship only carried 28 passengers, when it was perfectly capable of carrying 64 (“Titanic Facts”). Less than 3 hours later, at 2:20 p.m. (“Titanic sinks”), she sank, pulling over 1,500 people to the ocean floor (Fowler, Dave), including some of the most famous celebrities of that time period (Loohauis-Bennett, Jackie).
