The iceberg ruptured how many of the Titanics watertight compartments
The ship was designed and built to stay afloat if four watertight compartments were breached, but the iceberg breached five compartments, so the ship couldn't stay afloat

It was called the Unsinkable Ship because it was designed to stay afloat with 4 watertight compartments breached, but 5 compartments were breached when the ship collided with the iceberg

The Titanic was named The Unsinkable Ship because it was designed to stay afloat if a maximum of four watertight compartments were breached. But when the ship hit the iceberg, five compartments were breached
Titanic's iceberg was about 400 miles south of Newfoundland,
I don't know the exact measurements, but it sliced open five of its watertight compartments. The compartments are designed to keep the ship afloat if one or two get punctured, but not five or six or whatever.
