The Titanic rescue -- the rescue of many passengers on the RMS Titanic by the Carpathia and the failure of another ship to do likewise -- is an immensely compelling story in itself.
Myth of lifeboat shortage
Not all the lifeboats were used, and ones that were used were not filled to capacity. An infinite number of lifeboats would not have changed the fatality rate much, in light of how the available lifeboats were not fully used.
Thus the story of a supposed lifeboat shortage was exaggerated by liberals to push through burdensome new regulations to require more lifeboats on cruise ships.
