Archimedes Principle lesson from Titanic
A good article on Archimedes Principle written by a USA Lecturer at Newark High School from December 1998.
Altough dated, it gives insight into the reason why Thomas Andrews could staunchly defend his principle why the Titanic would eventually sink at a rate of 1-2 hours. Even with the pumps working, He didn't have to take into account the size of the porthole damage the iceberg had done to Titanic.

Using the Titanic to Teach Archimedes Principle
By Peter J. Yonko
One line in a scene from the movie Titanic was the inspiration for one of my physics lessons. Watching this scene, I saw how I could use the mystique of the great ship to bring Archimedes principle to life. In the scene, we see Mr. Andrews, Titanic's designer, enter with several ship drawings. He unfolds them on a table with great urgency. As Andrews explains the dire situation, Captain Smith asks eagerly about the pumps. Andrews replies, From this moment, no matter what I do, Titanic will founder. Mr. Ismay, an executive with White Star Lines, says in disbelief, But this ship can't sink Andrews sternly replies, She is made of iron, sir. I assure you she can and she will. It is a mathematical certainty.
