The iceberg that the Titanic struck put an extreme level of pressure on the riveted seams of the ship's hull below the waterline, causing the rivets to pop out and the steel plates to buckle inwards. This was done along a 300-foot length of the liner's starboard side at the frontal end, which exposed several of her watertight bulkheads to flood. She was not designed to stay afloat with so many of the bulkheads exposed to the sea, although the possibility of this happening was dismissed as too unlikely to consider when the Titanic was being designed. Contrary to popular belief, the 'berg did NOT 'tear a gash' along the side of the vessel- she was holed by pressure, and not tearing.
