It was actually a very well-designed ship. It took longer to sink than the chief engineer thought, and it didn’t capsize unlike basically every other vessel ever sunk.
It was indeed. The real upshot is that to take that 25,000 ton vessel and slam it against an iceberg of almost infinitly larger mass at a land speed of about 25 miles per hour is always pretty much a bad idea.
Always felt bad for Captain Smith. He was below in his cabin asleep when the first officer, Murdoch bounced the ship off of the berg.
