Passengers of the Titanic had different descriptions for how the collision felt. From “a slight tremor” and as described in “Shadow of the Titanic” that the collision felt “as though the Titanic had passed over a thousand marbles.” According to records, if only four of the Titanic’s watertight compartments had been breached, it would have stayed afloat. Unfortunately, the iceberg sliced through six.
