How many people could full lifeboats have saved?

How many people could have been saved if Titanic's lifeboats had all launched at full capacity?

Up to 1,178 people could have occupied the installed boats, about 470 more than were actually saved; Carlisle's planned complement had room for everyone.

In the figures used here, fully loading all of Titanic's installed boats would have accommodated 1,178 people, a little over half of those aboard. That would have reduced the death toll by a little more than 470, though roughly 1,046 people would still have lacked places. The larger complement proposed by Alexander Carlisle had enough nominal capacity for everyone if the crew could get them aboard in time. Inadequate capacity and under-filled launches were separate failures, and each materially worsened the outcome.
