The numbers of the Titanic are very numerous and big. The passengers that could be carried totaled in 2200 passengers. Unfortunately, for the sake of the passengers, not enough lifeboats were inserted into the ships structure. That is because the engineers and the people responsible for the voyage prioritized the sea?s view.
From those 2200 passengers, about 1500 people died and only 700 passengers managed to survive. That is due to the fact that since not only there were little lifeboats aboard, but that women and children had to be seated first, it created a really extra delay in the evacuation procedure.
Most of the lifeboats were partially used in order to accommodate the first class ladies with their children more comfortably. With that despicable measure more people died and not as many that could be saved were saved. The poorer classes also suffered a really humiliation almost being locked to their death.
