It was not. The ship did not have watertight bulkheads up to the main deck. The design flaw was corrected in the two sister ships. I believe the evidence suggests that the Titanic still would have sunk with water tight bulkheads but it would have taken many more hours.

Thanks but it was a tongue-in-cheek comment on my part. I thought it was kind of obvious the cabin wasn’t watertight.
