Yes, that's how the titantic sank.However the titantic didn't sink just because of the iceberg.That year was the year of the 100 year Solar Eclipse!When it comes out icebergs go toward as if the moon was a magnet and the icebergs were metal.Because of the moon the icebergs were pulled between America and England's Dock where the Titantic left and the titantic happend to be in the middle!When the titantic was closer to America when it was sinking many people were jumping from the titantic while woman and children were getting onto dingy's.But, there are these 3 people who changed the titantic forever!Their names were Marlyn N. Thayer,Jack Thayer, and last but not least Jack Jr. Thayer.While Jack Jr. Thayer wanted to get his parents and him off, they couldn't they had to be left behind.Jack Jr. Thayer and his best friend Ryan Butler had to jump but Ryan couldn't swim!So Jack helped him out they were rescued from another ship.The other ship had tooken them to New York.Legend says that the last song played was "Near To God Are We"

∙ 8y agoThe outter hull was iron which was rivetted, unlike today where its steel and welded. A combination of the freezing water temperature and the size of the iceberg punctured the hull, allowing water to pour into the ship in its forward engine room. The ship was designed with compartments across the hull. However, when the iceberg tore away the first panels the water came in and filled the front compartment. Sadly the designers didnt put the compartment wall to the top and water cascaded over the top filling the second compartment which had be holed as well. This added to the forward weight tipping the ship down and more water cascaded over the compartments. It is suggested that had the comparment walls been floor to ceiling then the ship would probably managed to survive the rippping of the hull and tear-out of the iron rivits

∙ 6y agoYes. Hitting the iceberg tore open the hull, letting water into the ship.
