They didn’t. They used tenders, skiffs, ship-to-shore ferries, etc. to get from the dock to the ship too big for the dock.
Here’s the wiki page for the SS Nomadic, which was the tender to get people onto the Titanic- it’s still out there and can be toured as a museum in Belfast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Nomadic_(1911)

TIL the Titanic wasn’t docked. I feel lied to by every Titanic movie and musical.
