How big was the gash in the Titanic after it hit the iceburg?

Answer 1

gfu8

Answer 2

It was approximately 300 feet long, on the front starboard side of the vessel.

It is now generally believed by marine archaeologists that the iceberg punched the gash rather than tore it, pressure between the 'berg and the ship's hull causing the riveted plates to buckle and collapse.
There actually was no "gash," instead the Titanic was brought down by a series of small gaps between the iron plates in her hull. The iron used to build the Titanic had a weak composition. Coupled with the freezing water, the iron plates and rivets became very brittle. When Titanic struck the iceberg, several iron rivets were knocked out of place, which allowed the iron plates to separate. Since this happened below sea level, the pressure of the surrounding ocean is what caused the sea water to rush in so quickly. This happened along 5 compartments in the Titanic, and she could only float with 4 compartments filled. Talk about bad luck.
There was no 'hole' as such, the iceberg buckled the plates which allowed water to flow into the gap it created.

the Titanic was damaged from the bottom towards 3rd class. A few slits opened and bolts came out from the pressure around 600,000 and that is how the water started to fill in. It scraped the titanic's bottom.
Some people say before it sanked it was 882 feet and 9 inches. But when it sanked it was 552 feet and 10 inches.
The ice berg punctured the first five air tight compartments. Which i believe was made of iron, and though the ship would have been able to stay afloat with 4 of the compartments flooded, five was one too many. This caused the boat to plunder to its death during its Maiden Voyage, April 14, 1912.
About 300 feet long on the starboard side.

Answer 3

The Iceberg made a gash about 220-245 feet long the Titanic was about 882 feet. but recently they have said that there is only about a 12 square foot opening allowing to flow into the ship.

Answer 4

round about 300ft

Answer 5

2cm
