Lots and lots of sealed bulkheads (walls) throughout the length of the ship was the key feature. Such a ship might have been unsinkable under normal conditions. Unfortunately, the Titanic sailed before the bulkheads had been completely sealed all the way up. Water poured into the first compartments after she struck a berg, then as the ship took a little bit of an angle from the added water, the water poured over the tops of the unfinished bulkheads.
