[[Titanic design flaws]] were many in the catastrophic sinking of the ''[[Titanic]]'' and the death of slightly more than 1,500 of its passengers in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.

The design flaws include use of compartments in the hull of the ship that allowed water to spillover from one to the next, to the use of inferior rivets to fasten panels of the ship together.
{{cquote|The scientists studied 48 rivets that divers recovered over two decades from the Titanic's resting place - two miles down in the North Atlantic - and found many to be riddled with high concentrations of slag. A glassy residue of smelting, slag can make rivets brittle and prone to fracture.}}

[[Actor Network Theory]] is used some scholars to analyze culpability for the design flaws.<ref>https://libraetd.lib.virginia.edu/downloads/t148fj106?filename=McDevitt_William_STS_Research_Paper.pdf</ref>
