Collapsible lifeboats

Collapsibles, as the name suggests, were Engelhardt foldable canvas rafts that has rims that can be lifted up when launched, unlike regular lifeboats, which could hold up to 65-70 people, Collapsibles could only hold 47. There were four Collapsibles on the Titanic when she was planned out, built and sank. A, B, C and D. or 1, 2, 3 and 4. Collapsibles C & D barely made launch before the Titanic went down, with Collapsible D being lowered when the water was around A Deck. A and B on the other hand, almost went down with the ship, A being swamped with water, and B being upturned.
