Why did it take so long for the people in the lifeboats to be rescued titanic?

The rescue of the Titanic's lifeboats was delayed due to several factors. First, the nearby ship, the Carpathia, received the distress signal late and had to cover a significant distance to reach the sinking vessel. Additionally, the chaos and confusion during the evacuation meant that not all lifeboats were filled to capacity, leading to a prolonged rescue effort. Finally, the freezing temperatures and rough seas added to the difficulties faced by both the survivors and the rescuers.
