Why? The shipbuilders didn't drive it into the iceberg.

 

Yeah, but didn't they claim it was unskinable?

No. The president of the White Star Line bragged that that was the case, but it was never official. And even if it was, it was nothing more than advertising hyperbole. There is no such thing as an unsinkable ship.
