Passengers on The Titanic | Titanic Survivors
There weren't as many survivors as there could have been because there wasn't enough lifeboats for everyone on the ship and also all the seats in the lifeboats weren't filled. The passengers were told that women and children would be the first in the lifeboats, and there were still many men, women, and children that died with the ship. The number of the people who lived was less than the number of crew members! "885 crew members....only 705 Titanic passengers survived." (Passengers on The Titanic). Since at first people weren't worried about the ship actually sinking, they didn't fill the life boats up all the way, but if they had, then more people would have survived.

The Build Of The Titanic, Who Built It? Where Was It Built? When was it built?
After three hard-working years of building the Titanic, the grand and unsinkable ship was finished. It had taken a lot of man-power and designing as well as much trial and error to build it. On May 31, 1911, the greatest ship of the time was finished. This ship wasn't actually called unsinkable by the designers of the ship. "'While Harland & Wolff claimed that it never advertised the Titanic as unsinkable, a White Star Line brochure indeed said that the Titanic was designed not to sink. The media of the day, of course, seized on this idea of an unsinkable ship.'" (The Build of the Titanic). To this day, some pieces of the ship are on a display in a museum.
