As far as I was aware. The last story I was aware of wasn’t that it punctured the Hull. It apparently sheared off the rivets so panels of plating quite literally fell off/were pushed aside by the passing Iceberg. Allowing Water in. Apparently it’s believed now the builders deliberately skimped out on the Rivets and didn’t use the right ones.
The explosion was likely due to water hitting the coal fires.
Agreed. I’ve never heard the built like a modern day icebreaker thing, it was riveted, which would not be a great design for icebreaking. Only have to tear open the rivets and water will flow.
