The back of the ship went underwater first. As the back of the ship went underwater, the weight of the water made the ship stand vertically in the water, with the back part underwater and the front part sticking straight up into the air. Then the ship broke in half, and the front part of it sank, following the back part to the bottom of the ocean.

In the original Titanic movie (1953), the ship sinks whole, without breaking in half. This was a mistake on the moviemakers' part. In James Cameron's Titanic (1997), the sinking of the ship is depicted the way it really happened.
