Thomas and Alexander Carlisle concede to Bruce Ismay and Lord Pirrie and their wish to keep as much space open on the boat deck as possible -- for passenger comfort and luxury.
You have to understand that at the time, the Board of Trade's lifeboat regulations required that all ships over 10,000 tons must hold 16 lifeboats. Titanic, therefore, exceded the required number coming in with 20 boats including the cutters and the Englehardt Collapsibles.
So confident where the chairmen of Harland & Wolff and White Star in the design of the Olympic class liners, with their water-tight bulkheads, and superior craftsmanship, that they viewed the lifeboats as good PR.
They would never need lifeboats on an unsinkable ship.
Thank you so much for reading!
