How much weight could the lifeboats carry on the titanic?

The lifeboats on the Titanic were designed to carry a total of about 1,178 people, despite the ship's capacity being over 2,200. Each lifeboat could hold approximately 65 to 70 people, depending on the specific type and design. However, due to safety regulations at the time, the lifeboats were not filled to their maximum capacity during the evacuation, leading to a significant loss of life.
