Yes; and that strangely enough was probably what did the Titanic in. Just because the lookout saw the iceberg a minute before, the ship started making a sharp turn, however not sharp enough to avoid collision. Instead, the iceberg now tore a long gash along the lenght of the ship, flooding at least 5 waterproof compartments at the same time.
Had no-one seen the iceberg before it hit, the ship would have rammed the nose into the iceberg. Given its moderate speed, that might have only breached one or two front compartments which might have been closed up in time.
We'll never know for sure, but several maritime specialists have argued that the Titanic would then probably have stayed afloat
