How many lifeboat should there have been for all the passenger and crew?

The Titanic was designed to carry 2,224 passengers and crew but only had lifeboats for 1,178 people. To accommodate everyone on board, it would have required at least 48 lifeboats, assuming a standard capacity of around 50 people per lifeboat. This shortfall was primarily due to outdated maritime regulations at the time, which did not mandate enough lifeboats for all passengers. Ultimately, the tragedy highlighted the need for stricter safety regulations in maritime travel.
