Clearly, Titanic was not unsinkable. Virtually everyone alive knows that. But she WAS deemed practically unsinkable at the time by Shipbuilders Magazine in 1908.

Why was the titanic called the unsinkble?

The Titanic was the most modern ship ever built at that time. It had many systems built in to control flooding. However they were not adequate enough for the damage that they took. Also, man was very proud of himself for building this magnificent ship. Pride goes before the fall.

How many staterooms were on the Titanic?

It is said that there were approximately 5856 rooms aboard the Titanic but the exact number is impossible to determine. This is because many of the cabins, especially in third class, were built with retractable walls that could accommodate either a single person or a whole family. The Titanic was built with 10 decks. Each deck had 3 types of passenger cabins for a total 2,389 cabins: 689 first class, 674 second class, and 1,026 third class. there were also smoking rooms, dining rooms, and other event rooms aboard the marvelous ship.

Why was the titanic called the unsinkble ship?

This was because she was built with compartments, that could be separated by water-tight doors. In theory she could remain afloat with some of these compartments flooded. However, one of the major flaws in her design, was that these bulkheads, did not go up to the Main Deck. The Titanic, also had a Double Hull, thus if the Outer Hull were breached, she would remain afloat. +++ {I had tried to put this in "Start a Discussion" rather than here, but it failed on some strange error!} It's important to nail that "unsinkable" claim. No-one who actually understood ships ever said that; and even now, there is no such thing as an "unsinkable" ship. It came from an over-enthusiastic but none-too-bright newspaper journalist mis-interpreting a much more guarded, reasoned assessment in a serious journal written by and for professional engineers, and published before Titanic had been completed.
