    You’re confusing design/technical failure with failure in the broader, catastrophic sense. It was an ‘unsinkable ship’ that sank. As Picard said, it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

    If you read the article you’ll see that the exhibition is about failure in all its guises.

      Possibly. It was never said to be unsinkable, that was a myth. Certainly any ship can be sunk by poor seamanship or adverse circumstances.
