I don't know the exact measurements, but it sliced open five of its watertight compartments. The compartments are designed to keep the ship afloat if one or two get punctured, but not five or six or whatever.
Some kinds of mining leave deep gashes in the surface of the earth.The collision with the iceberg left a big gash in the hull of the titanic.
There was no gash, the iceberg buckled the steel plates making a gap between them
It struck an iceberg, tearing a gash into it's starboard side.It hit an iceberg.
There was no gash but the plates were buckled (rivets popped) for 258 feet.
The Titanic sank because the iceberg it hit ripped a great big gash in the side of it.
What actually happened was the Titanic hit an iceberg which made it sink.
Yes,because the iceburg still would have a gash in/on it
The very basic answer is, it struck and iceberg which created a gash in the side of the ship an it filled with water.
no. the iceberg created a gash in the side of the boat letting water get inside, causing the boat to sink.
A big iceberg sank the Titanic, a very big ship for it's time.
a 300-ft gash was torn in the starboard side. This was at 11:40 pm. It sunk at 2:20 am.
