As of November 2026, lifeboat has been mentioned in one podcast episode on Dateline NBC (Aug 2025).

Lifeboats played a crucial role during the sinking of the Titanic on 14–15 April 1912. The ship had 20 lifeboats that, in total, could accommodate 1,178 people, a little over half of the 2,209 on board the night it sank. 18 lifeboats were used, loading between 11:45 p.m. and 2:05 a.m., though Collapsible Boat A floated off the ship's partially submerged deck and Collapsible Lifeboat B floated away upside down minutes before the ship upended and sank.
