I assume the metal and materials the boats are made of are strong but surely not to withstand the pressure of being 12,000 feet underwater? At the end of the day it’s not like the engineers had to consider holding up to that much pressure in their design right?

The material of sunken ships is indeed under immense pressure. But the pressure is on all sides, so it’s not going to pull everything flat as if you cranked up gravity. A lot of the materials in the wrecks can only be compressed a little if at all. Take a steel beam and apply pressure on it from all sides and you won’t see any significant change.
