""Titanic"" had 20 lifeboats of three different types: The main lifeboats and cutters were built by Harland and Wolff at Queen's Island, Belfast at the same time that ""Titanic"" and her sister ship were constructed. They were designed for maximum seaworthiness, with a double-ended design (effectively having two bows).
