The Titanic possessed 15 bulkheads, which divided the ship into 16 watertight compartments. The Titanic was designed to still stay afloat even if 4 compartments were breached, but upon impact 5 of them were breached, and eventually they all flooded as the ship sank.

Why did people think the titanic un - sink able?
People thought the titanic was 'unsinkable' because the ship had a double bottomed hull that was divided into 16 presumably watertight compartments. Four of these could be flooded without endangering the liner's bouyancy, so the titanic was considered unsinkable. When the ship collided with the iceberg however, five of the compartments flooded, and the boat couldn't hold the weight of the flooded hull (body of the boat), and this made it heavier and more likely to sink.
