Those 20 lifeboats only carry 1,178 people, and there were approximately 2,2208 onboard. The last living survivor of the Titanic, Millvina Dean, was only 2 months old when she was put on a lifeboat and rescued to shore, she was also the youngest passenger on the ship. Millvina died at the age of 97.
