Titanic was travelling at about 22 knots with 46,000 tons on her, striking something that was larger and denser than she was. If Titanic hit the iceberg head-on, she would have crumpled like an Accordion and sunk within minutes, not hours. Nobody would have had to time to board any lifeboat or call for help, all hands would have been lost, and her fate (and location) would have been a mystery.
