True, the lifeboats were not filled nearly to capacity, but the Titanic had lifeboats to accommodate only half of her passengers. A bundle of legislation came out of the Titanic disaster, including the law that ships had to have lifeboats sufficient to accommodate all passengers. Skip ahead to 1956 when the Andrea Doria sank, she sank in such a way as to render half her lifeboats unusable. The parallels between the Titanic and the Andrea Doria sinkings are quite startling.
