5he people who built Titanic never said she was unsinkable. That was press clipping hyperbole.
And if the guy in charge on the bridge that night had done what he was SUPPOSED to do, the Titanic would be no more famous than any other liner, cause she would have MISSED the iceberg!

It has been said that had they hit it dead straight, they may have only breached 1 or 2 compartments and stayed afloat. As it happened, turning and grazing the edge of the iceberg caused several compartments to be compromised.
