No - just operated incorrectly. Several TV programs discussing findings regarding this subject reveal two [that I can recall] problem areas in the design and conctruction of the Titanic. 1. The bulkheads, which were supposed to form individual watertight compartments, should have gone much higher, in the hull, than they did. The lower upper edges of the bulkheads, as the ship began to sink by the bow, allowed the seawater to enter the first, then second, third, and so on compartments, thus causing the the ship to sink. 2. Metalurgic analysis of the metal hull plates revealed that the steel "receipe" was extremely poor, in that it was rendered very weak and brittle, resulting in the ice berg cutting a long gash through several compartments. Had the steel been like ours of today, the hull plates would not have failed, and there would not have been any flooding of any compartments, thus no sinking.
