Also hope the quality of material in the hull is much better.

It was discovered in the Nineties that the steel used on Titanic had a high sulfur content. It wouldn't have even made for good rebar. The hull was already brittle enough without the freezing water temperature wrecking further havoc with it.

Had the steel been up to standard, Titanic might well have made it to port safely.
