TITANIC LIFE BOAT

SIZE: 27 x 21 x 5 cm

ONE OF THE FACTORS THAT MAKES THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC SO MEMORABLE IS THE FACT THAT LIVES WERE NEEDLESSLY LOST. THERE WERE NOT ENOUGH LIFEBOATS ON BOARD TO HOLD ALL THE PASSENGERS AND CREW AND WHEN THE LIFEBOATS WHERE LAUNCHED THEY WERE NOT FILLED TO CAPACITY.
TITANIC´S LIFEBOATS WERE SITUADED ON THE TOP DECK.
TITANIC CARRIED 20 LIFEBOATS, ENOUGH FOR 1178 PEOPLE.
705 PEOPLE SURVIVED THE DISASTER BY STANDING ON THE UPTURNED BOAT.
