    Titanic sank on April 15, 1912. It hit the iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912, but did not actually sink until 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 2 hours and 40 minutes later.

    Andy I understand your times are accurate but are GMT timings.

    The Titanic was off Newfoundland and in a time zone 3 hours earlier than GMT. This means it sank at 23:20 on April 14th if you were actually on the Titanic.

    Check the time and date in St John's Newfoundland here:
