five or six compartments :)
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 iceberg ruptured how many of the Titanics watertight compartments
6 watertight compartments
People thought the titanic was 'unsinkable' because the ship had a double bottomed hull that was divided into 16 presumably watertight compartments. Four of these could be flooded without endangering the liner's bouyancy, so the titanic was considered unsinkable. When the ship collided with the iceberg however, five of the compartments flooded, and the boat couldn't hold the weight of the flooded hull (body of the boat), and this made it heavier and more likely to sink.
Five compartments were breached and even a few feet of a sixth.
The Titanic can stay afloat if four of the watertight compartments were flooded. Unfortunately, five of those compartments were flooded, and the ocean water was spilling over each compartment, accelerating her sinking.
4. When it struck the iceberg, 6 filled.
5 compartments were ruptered by the iceberg, which is one more that the Titanic could stand
The first 6 compartments were breached but pumps were able to slow the flooding of boiler room 5.
5 compartments were flooded, which was one too many, for the Titanic was designed to stay afloat with only 4 compartments breached
I ThiNk it was 4-6 but I'm not sure
the 4 front compartments or any of 2 middle compartments.
