Could Titanic have survived the collision if she had a double hull?

[Steven Christian]

As Mr. Standart and others have said we know the doors were open and the portholes were opened. What made it even worse on the Britannic was that the nurses had opened up the lower row portholes to ventilate the wards because of the weather. When the ship developed her extreme list those portholes were exposed to the sea pretty much at once unlike Titanic from what I could gather. But comparing Titanic to Britannic is kind of an apples vrs oranges thing. Lots of different factors in play. According to the gentleman's article below they did try to close the doors for the boiler rooms but for some unknown reason they failed. You can read the article yourself if interested.

Or would it be worse as all the water would be trapped on the starboard side with no way to even the ship out? I'm not sure where the trim tanks where located.

If the volume of the spaces between the outer and inner hulls was the same as it was in the double bottoms, then she would have survived. As she would have done, if only her double bottoms had been breached.
