After more reading I think my original assessment is wrong, they designed the Titanic to survive a direct hit with another boat, but not an iceberg, so it probably would have sunk anyways. However I did find another article with two points I hadn't heard before

If the helmsman had simply turned the wheel the other way, they would have missed the berg. And had the captain not listened to the WSL chairman and stopped the boat, the Titanic would have remained afloat long enough for a rescue ship to arrive and everyone would have survived. The whole disaster really was a perfect storm of incompetence
