The current theory to the cause of the Titanic sinking is that the the ship grazed the iceberg and perforated or popped the rivets across too many watertight compartments.

Many things can be perforated: paper, cardboard, and plastics and metal (such as in many of the devices you use everyday).  Bullets and sharp objects can also perforate the human body, although we hope that doesn't occur very often.
