Between 4 and 6 can't really remember the exact number
5 water tight compartments were ruptured. Making the gash a total of 300 feet long.
Five compartments were breached and even a few feet of a sixth.
When the Titanic was hit, five of her compartments were ruptured along its starboard side.
The reason why Titanic was deemed as unsinkable was that it was built to stay afloat with 4 watertight compartments breached, but when the Titanic hit the iceberg, 5 compartments were breached, which was one too many
There are SIXTEEN watertight compartments on the titanic
titanic sank because she hit the iceberg on her starboard side causing 5 compartments to flood. titanic could stay afloat with 4 compartments but not 5
The watertight compartments on the Titanic did not extend high enough to prevent water from spilling over the top when the ship hit the iceberg, causing the compartments to flood and leading to the sinking of the ship.
The Titanic was named The Unsinkable Ship because it was designed to stay afloat if a maximum of four watertight compartments were breached. But when the ship hit the iceberg, five compartments were breached
RMS Titanic's first five compartments filled with water following a brush-by collision with an iceberg. The ship probably could have floated with as many as four compartments flooded, but with the loss of the fifth, the ship's head (or bow) was pulled down to a point where the rising water was able to spill over the tops of the following bulkheads one after the other, dooming the ship.
the captain and crew wouldn't listen to the orders that were coming in by radio And so they hit an iceberg. The reason why the titanic crashed was because the compartments *(lower part of ship) wasn't built correctly
Technically, everyone said the Titanic was unsinkable, though the White Star Line never made the claim. People thought this because the Titanic had compartments, and if one was filled with water, it would close and the ship would be fine. However, too many compartments filled when the iceberg hit.
