RMS Titanic - Conservapedia |
 | | R.M.S. Titanic was a luxury passenger liner which sank after striking an iceberg on the night of April 14, 1912, while on its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, killing 1,517 passengers and crew. |
 | | Titanic also had 16 standard lifeboats and 4 collapsibles, with enough combined space to carry 1,178 passengers, far short of the 2,224 persons aboard; many of the lifeboats were lowered down the side only partialy filled with passengers (many of those remaining onboard initially believed the ship to be "unsinkable"). |
 | | Although the number of lifeboats was determined to be inadequate, [3] the Titanic had in actuality exceeded the British Board of Trade's lifeboat regulations, which had been written down for much smaller ships. |
