Why would there be survivors decades after the ship sank?
Mermaids!
People survived in crazy places for crazy amounts of time: https://www.boatnews.com/story/44082/how-did-malagasy-slaves-survive-15-years-on-the-island-of-tromelin
They did have lifeboats. Not enough for everyone, but a few did survive because of that: https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/explorer/
But why would you be looking for them in the middle of the ocean?
Can't look on the edges because the coastline is infinitely long.
Plus it’s not like they’d be using the lifeboats on land
