How long was the gash in the side of the titanic?
There was no gash, the iceberg buckled the steel plates making a gap between them
How big was the hole in the side of the Titanic?
Some people say that the hole was atleast 300 feet long (91.5 feet).
How long was the scrape on the titanic?
Plates were separated due to popped rivets in a series spanning about 258 feet.
How many rivets were on the Titanic?
during the time it was being constructed, perhaps it had taken more than a thousand workers when built. but now, through means of technology, shipbuilders doesn't that really need thousands of workers or so to build every single ship, because of robots & machines available now that they are using to make the production more faster and demanding as well. but i think no ship/s to date or in the future would ever surpass the extremely luxurious, classically timeless facade & structure of the Titanic, because it's just solely unique, amazing and lovely. yet of course, there are more durable, innovative and supremely engineered designed ships being built now.
How long into the titanic did the boat crash?
Titanic lasted two hours and forty minutes after the collision before she went below the surface of the Atlantic - and it's believed that the bow and stern took about 5-6 minutes to fall until they crashed on the seabed.

How did rivets help to sink the titanic?
One of the theories wrt the titanic sinking was that poor quality rivets had caused the hull plates to split at the seams as opposed to being torn apart. This would have meant that the long gash had needed less force to split open.
Was people in the hull of the titanic?
Yes. 1.496 people died on the ship and most were in the hull, but the bodies have been completely gone for a long time.
Is Titanic built wrong?
No - just operated incorrectly. Several TV programs discussing findings regarding this subject reveal two [that I can recall] problem areas in the design and conctruction of the Titanic. 1. The bulkheads, which were supposed to form individual watertight compartments, should have gone much higher, in the hull, than they did. The lower upper edges of the bulkheads, as the ship began to sink by the bow, allowed the seawater to enter the first, then second, third, and so on compartments, thus causing the the ship to sink. 2. Metalurgic analysis of the metal hull plates revealed that the steel "receipe" was extremely poor, in that it was rendered very weak and brittle, resulting in the ice berg cutting a long gash through several compartments. Had the steel been like ours of today, the hull plates would not have failed, and there would not have been any flooding of any compartments, thus no sinking.

How the titanic was built and how long it took?
Titanic was built from the keel up. Her empty hull was slid out of the Arrol Gantry and floated to the Thompson Graving Dock where her boilers, engines, and funnels were installed. The first piece of steel was laid on March 31st, 1909 and she was still being painted and completed by April 10th, 1912 when she sailed out of Southampton, UK.

Plates were separated due to popped rivets in a series spanning about 258 feet.
What length was the gash that that the iceberg cut into the hull of the Titanic?
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.|
