The number of lifeboats could be a trick question if you want it to be. She had twenty boats all together.
But four are considered Engelhardt collapsables (not real quote-unquote "lifeboats". Furthermore, lifeboats 1 and 2 are considered "emergency boats" used for quick rescues and transportations (not real quote - unquote "lifeboats"). Lightoller and some of the other officers made these differences known in the inquiry when it came to the question of how many people could be loaded in the lifeboats generally. |
