There was no one person that made the Titanic sink. It was a combination of out of date sea rules (such as not having enough life boats for everybody on board), a ship President that wanted glory making the ship go too fast, a pissed off wireless operator on another ship that could have helped the Titanic and many other things that helped the ship to sink

I would just like to add to that by saying that the reason the Titanic actually sunk was because it hit an iceberg, which pierced the hull, allowing water in, which sunk the boat. The fact that there weren't enough lifeboats had nothing to do with the Titanic sinking, that was merely the reason so many people died.

Technically an iceberg caused the ship to sink by puncturing the hull. However a large number of secondary factors contributed to this. Originally Thomas Andrews (Designer) originally gave the ship a double hull, higher bulkheads, and enough lifeboats to fit everyone and claimed it to be unsinkable, but when he asked J. Bruce Ismay (Company Owner) to make the ship, Ismay took out the double hull, lowered the bulkheads, and put only enough lifeboats to abide by the law, but he still told the press about Andrews claim. Later, Ismay also convinced Edward J. Smith (Captain) to go faster through the ice field to arrive early in New York. In short, it is my opinion that it was the fault of Ismay.

No one person made or built the Titanic. It was designed by William Pirrie, Thomas Andrews and Alexander Carlisle. It was built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Many individuals were involved in the actual building of the vessel.

it was the captins fault for sinking the ship because he was told about the ice berg but he said it is the unsinkable ship and he was to be on board when he hit the iceberg but he got on one of the lifeboats when he was to be on deck.

There are multiple factors that led to the sinking of the Titanic, which ultimately led to the ship striking the iceberg. From Captain's Smith's decisions, not heeding the ice warnings, the crew improperly trained for evacuations, no binoculars on the lookout, Bruce Ismay's prodding to Smith to increase the speed of Titanic to get to New York, the quality of the steel and rivets, among others.

the titanic hit an iceberg and the rivets at the front of the boat were made of the wrong material so were not strong enough.

Harland and Wolff were, I believe, of Belfast, the shipwrights involved. the steel or portions of it were provided to the shipyard by Ryerson.

Some would say it was the captains. He decreased the ships speed. If Titanic had not been decreased in speed, then it would have survived (with only a few scratches).
