Lifeboat 5 was the second boat lowered from the Titanic, launched at 12:43 A.M.. It was launched from the starboard side, like Lifeboat 7 3 minutes earlier. Third Officer Pitman was sent in charge of the boat, having five other crew with him as well as two stewardesses. Passengers were still a bit reluctant to enter the boats at this time. Mrs. Warren thought there were 35 or 36 people in the boat, Officer Pitman estimated over 50, Karl Behr thought there were about 40, Mrs. Cassebeere thought 37 and Dr. Frauenthal stated 34, half of whom were men.
