Question

The titanic sank on april 14–15, 1912 after hitting an iceberg. ironically, this ship had been dubbed the "unsinkable." this was a tremendous shock. in 1985, the wreck was discovered and explored. why did the 46,000-ton ship sink in less than three hours?

Answer 1

After the water gushed aboard and the boat split into two, there was nothing left that kept the boat afloat. The weight of water and gravity ultimately pulled the large cruiser to its watery doom.

Hope this Helps! :)

Answer 2

There was a large gash in the ships hull and they ordered the watertight doors to be shut but the water just kept on spilling over into the next compartment over and then the ship wasnt able to float for more than 2 and a half hours and then the ship split into two then it sank
