How much did Titanic iceberg weigh?
We don't know, first because it isn't certain which iceberg was the culprit, and secondly, no-one was rowing out to take measurements. And most of it was under the sea surface, anyway.
It did not need to be very big, however. The damaged was caused by the Titanic's last-moment effort to swerve around it, which nearly succeeded and which already is an indication that the iceberg wasn't exactly a mile in diameter. And then the damage was caused by the scraping of the underwater part of the ice alongside the ship's hull, not by its sheer mass. Experts later have voiced the opinion that if the iceberg had not been seen at all and been hit with the ship's bow, the damage (although heavy, and probably causing many broken bones amongs passengers and crew) would have been limited to a small area and the ship might have remained afloat.
