Titanic Trivia: Fun Facts About the Unsinkable Ship

How many lifeboats were on the Titanic?

A. 18
B. 20
C. 22
D. 24

Answer:

C. 22

Did you know that the Titanic only had 22 lifeboats on board? Despite its massive size, the ship was ill-prepared for a disaster of such magnitude. This lack of lifeboats contributed to the tragic loss of life when the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg.

The inadequate number of lifeboats sparked changes in maritime regulations to ensure that ships have enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew on board. This event served as a wake-up call for the shipping industry to prioritize safety at sea.
