When the last lifeboat was launched, roughly 1,500 people were still on Titanic. This number is uncertain because many people were already in the water and some of the living were pulled into boats.
Collapsible A had much death all about it. People had their legs in deadly water which was several feet deep. Of the approximately twenty people, at least eight were dead, almost half.
All 20 lifeboats were launched, though Collapsible A and B floated off the ship (A was submerged, B was upside down) just before Titanic sank.
Some did yet others weren't quick enough but most people were dead, sadly. The law required any ship over 10,000 puonds could only have around 20 boats and the Titanic weighed around 42,000 pounds!
The full sized lifeboats could hold 65 people and the collapsible lifeboats could hold 40 people.
There were 4 "Englehardt" collapsible lifeboats on the Titanic.
Collapsible A and B washed off the Titanic. Collapsible A was upright, but was partially submerged. Collapsible B floated upside down.
