Why did the builder of the titanic think that it was unsinkable 30 .40 words 2 1

The liner, in many ways state of the art for the day and trumpeted by her owners, the press and others as "practically unsinkable," struck an iceberg south of the Grand Banks and went down in 2 hours, 40 minutes, taking more than 1,500 people with it.
Titanic was built with a double bottom but not a double hull. It had watertight bulkheads, but they didn't all go all the way to the top of the hull. These omissions doomed the ship after a 200-foot gash was torn in its starboard side below the waterline by a spur projecting from the iceberg. Or perhaps, new research suggests, the gash was not that big, but substandard rivets caused the Titanic's hull plates to buckle.
Whatever the means of destruction, the ship's five forward compartments quickly flooded, making Titanic’s sinking a mathematical certainty.
Problems with Titanic's maneuverability have also been cited as a cause for the collision. Whether the ship was fitted with a rudder that was too small, as has been suggested, or whether an officer on the bridge rang the engine room with the wrong maneuvering instructions, the ship was unable to avoid the spur at her speed of 23 knots.

The shipbuilders Harland and Wolff insist that the Titanic was never advertised as an unsinkable ship. They claim that the 'unsinkable' myth was the result of people's interpretations of articles in the Irish News and the Shipbuilder magazine. They also claim that the myth grew after the disaster.
