How was the Titanic ucsinkable?
Obviously she was not, but she had watertight doors and bulkheads and other features which helped to perpetuate the belief.
How many compartments were in the hull on the Titanic?
The Titanic possessed 15 bulkheads, which divided the ship into 16 watertight compartments. The Titanic was designed to still stay afloat even if 4 compartments were breached, but upon impact 5 of them were breached, and eventually they all flooded as the ship sank.
What went wrong with the bulkheads on the titanic?
Titanic's watertight bulkheads were fine but not built high enough to trap water at a high volume. In addition there has been some evidence found that days before the departure the forward coal bunker on the starboard side was actually on fire. This it appears may have weakened that area which coincidentally was the area that took the initial strike by the berg. References to this were struck from much of the post accident inquiry as incidental.
What type of rooms were in the Titanic?
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.
What was the Titanic built in?
The Titanic was (or is) largely constructed of steel, particularly the hull and all the internal bulkheads and decks.if u need more efficinet answers search in google..hope dis worksno the titanic was buit out of ironand they called it the unsinkable ship because it was so large and thats where the name ''Titanic'' came from.Because ''Titan'' means very large!
What was the height of the Titanic bulkheads?
79 ft
How many compartments at the bottom of the titanic have?
16 watertight compartments divided by 15 bulkheads that went from the bottom of the ship up to E-Deck

In wht ways did the titanic represent cutting edge technology at the time?
Several of Titanic's modern features include watertight bulkheads and a double-hull.
Why was a bulkhead important on the titanic?
The bulkhead is a wall running perpendicular to the length of the ship. Bulkheads divide a ship into sections along its length. The design of the bulkheads was a fatal flaw in the titanic because the bulkheads didn't go all the way up to the deck. Since the bulkheads only went part of the way up, the ship filled with water much like an ice-cube tray that's being filled with water. If the bulkheads had gone all the way up to the deck, only a portion of the ship would've filled with water and the ship wouldn't have sank.
What was new about the Titanic?
never seen on any other ocean liner at that time, the titanic`s watertight bulkheads and watertight compartments were the newest technology in the 19 century

Could the Titanic not have sunk if the designer had been more careful?
If the bulkheads at the front of the ship had been built to the height of the rest, the Titanic probably would not have sunk and would have been able to limp into port.

What are two safety features that were built into the titanic?
The Bulkheads were separated into sections allowing it to float as well as the watertight doors to keep the water at bay but it didn't work.
What was the water tight compartments on the titanic made of?
These were steel bulkheads with special doors through the ship. Unfortunately the iceberg ripped open five of these at the front end of the ship.
