5 compartments were ruptered by the iceberg, which is one more that the Titanic could stand
The iceberg ruptured how many of the Titanics watertight compartments
6 watertight compartments
Because it was designed and built to be able to stay afloat with 4 watertight compartments breached, but the iceberg breached 5 compartments, which was one too many,
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
The SOS message sent out gave Titanics coordinates as 41-56 degrees North and 50-14 degrees West. It sunk 350miles/531kilometres southeast of Newfoundland Canada and it wouldn't have travelled far from hitting the iceberg. I'd say a couple of miles at most.
The iceberg ruptured how many of the Titanics watertight compartments
Titanic's iceberg was about 400 miles south of Newfoundland,
6 watertight compartments
I ThiNk it was 4-6 but I'm not sure
three big cuts were inflicted to the Titanics lower left side along with a lot of smaller cuts in the same area
I believe it was 5, but if only 4 had filled up, the ship would not have sunk.
The watertight compartments on the Titanic did not extend high enough to prevent water from spilling over the top when the ship hit the iceberg, causing the compartments to flood and leading to the sinking of the ship.
An iceberg struck the starboard side of the Titanic on April 14th, around midnight. The iceberg flooded 5 watertight compartments, while she could only stay afloat with 4 flooded.
The Titanic was called unsinkable because it was believed to have advanced safety features, such as watertight compartments and a double hull, that would prevent it from sinking if it hit an iceberg.
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
Because it was designed and built to be able to stay afloat with 4 watertight compartments breached, but the iceberg breached 5 compartments, which was one too many,
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
