Answer 1

No safety measures...

Step-by-step explanation:

... 20 lifeboats that in total could only accommodate 1,178 people, despite the fact that there were approximately 2,208 on board. RMS Titanic had a maximum capacity of 3,547 passengers and crew. 18 lifeboats were used

so that means there were 2 more lifeboats onboard 1,503 people did not make it on to a lifeboat and were aboard Titanic when it sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. 705 people remained in the lifeboats until later that morning when they were rescued by RMS Carpathia.
