Titanic's collision with the iceberg was obviously bad enough to sink her. The rivets were popped between the metal plates and enough water breached through to make her unstable and eventually to sink her.

Ownership of the wreck is a bit complicated. RMS Titanic Inc. has exclusive salvage rights to the wreck. However, those rigts only apply to US law.

Both parties settled in 2007. As the ship lies in international waters, the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage protects the Titanic from exploitation.

The Titanic was expected to arrive within a set period of time. As with all transatlantic crossings there was some leeway in case the ship encountered bad weather or other problems.

What was the reason behind the sinking of Titanic?
A combination of bad luck and substandard building materials. Titanic was too big to respond fast enough to commands to change course by the time the iceberg was spotted, and hence the ship sideswiped the berg. Add to that, the rivets that were lower quality steel than they should have been, and possibly even steel plate that fell into the same category. Six compartments were ripped open. The ship was designed to stay afloat if as many as four were ripped open - not six. And so on, and so on . . .
