Titanic was claimed "unsinkable" because it was the best ship built at the time. It had watertight doors and if four compartments where flooded, it could still stay afloat. Now, some people have said that since Titanic was the best ship some people called it unsinkable and that spread the word around giving it the title "The Unsinkable ship". The white star line (The company who made titanic) did not claim it unsinkable, the passengers did.

At the time it was advertised as unsinkable as is reasonable possible. It was advertise like this because if the safety features on the ship. Titanic had automatic/manual (they could close automatically or electronically from the wheelhouse) water tight doors. water tight bulkheads and compartments thought the ship, the most powerful wireless marconi at sea and it was thought that Titanic was so big that anything big enough to damage it would be seen it time.
