What were the construction flaws of the Titanic?

The construction flaws of the Titanic have been closely examined in the aftermath of the tragic sinking. One of the most significant flaws was the lack of sufficient lifeboats to accommodate all the passengers and crew on board. The ship was designed to comply with outdated regulations that did not account for the sheer size and capacity of the vessel. Additionally, the builders used lower-grade steel for the hull, making it vulnerable to damage upon collision with an iceberg. The watertight compartments, while intended to enhance safety, did not extend high enough, resulting in water spreading across multiple compartments and eventually leading to its sinking. The absence of a double bottom throughout the ship's length also contributed to its vulnerability. These flaws collectively highlight the importance of thorough and forward-thinking design in maritime construction.
