The Titanic was built to be as unsinkable as possible, but the builders never made that claim from what I have gathered. Nautical publications of the time declared that the liner was unsinkable, and this belief took hold with the public.
The builders of the Titanic never actually said that the Ship was 'unsinkable'. It was just people's interpretations of the articles written about it. Quite simply, any ship can sink really. There is no such thing as 'unsinkable' :) too many compartment's filled up with water, it was only able to have four compartment's full and no more.
The story of Titanic being called unsinkable is a myth. It was only referred to as unsinkable after it sunk.
The White Star Line advertised the Titanic as unsinkable when reality it was not.
not a clue

That it was unsinkable.
Titanic was regarded as "unsinkable" but was not named so by the public or even the builders. It was a reference made in "Shipbuilders Magazine" in 1911.

They thought it was unsinkable.

no
Obviously, it wasn't. That was just a claim made by the people who built the ship. A rather disastrous claim, as it turned out. "The tallest towers fall the hardest" -???
The builders said it was unsinkable. It ended up striking an iceberg and sinking. Many people died thats why it is talked about a lot.
the soposiblely unsinkable ship was called the titanic.
