<<if the lifeboats had been filled an additional 200 passengers could have been saved. >>

And if the two hours had been used properly several hundred more could have been saved. Think rafts.

Each lifeboat had a waterproof canvas covering it. Canvas + a couple of tables for a frame = boat. Box spring on top of a mattress and you have a raft.
