The decision to include fewer lifeboats on the Titanic was influenced by J. Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the White Star Line, and the ship's designers, particularly Thomas Andrews. They prioritized aesthetics and the ship's luxury design over safety regulations, believing that the Titanic was "unsinkable." This led to a lifeboat capacity that was insufficient for the number of passengers and crew on board.
