The Titanic held 16 large lifeboats when she departed Belfast, she was originaly desinged to carry 64.
There should have been at least 20 lifeboats and the lifeboats the titanic released that night where not all the way full so a lot of people died more than necessary.
On the Titanic they were tested for the weight of 70 adult men. However, even at full capacity there would not have been enough room for every person aboard. Maritime law has changed since then and there must be enough room on lifeboats for every living soul aboard a ship.
Those aboard Titanic were ill-prepared for such an emergency. The ship's lifeboats had only enough space to carry about half of those on board; if the ship had carried her full complement of about 3,339 passengers and crew, only about a third could have been accommodated in the lifeboats.Wikipedia
There was 20 lifeboats on the Titanic. My opinion is that they should have had more lifeboats because people travelled on Her for a reason.

If there had been more lifeboats aboard the Titanic, then yes more people could have been saved. There was time and capacity to save more lives even with the original amount of lifeboats, but because of the lack obvious signs of damage and danger, many were reluctant to leave the boat to get on the much smaller lifeboats. The lifeboats were designed to hold 40 people, but many were launched only partly full.
Twelve dogs sailed on Titanic, of whom three survived in the lifeboats.

there was 12 lifeboats.
Lol Depends how many more lifeboats were on the ship. The reason there werent enough lifeboats onboard was because mr Ismay (The builder of the ship) didnt want to put any more lifeboats on because it made the ship look ugly.
Because the makers of the ship thought that too many large lifeboats would clutter the deck, and not make it as fancy and posh to live on. also they didn't think it was going to sink. The lifeboats were actually quite large, holding up to 70 people each, and would have held the majority of people aboard if they had been filled and launched properly.
