The timeline of the sinking of the RMS Titanic details the events of the night of Sunday 14 April 1912, and into the early hours of the following day, which saw the loss of the ocean liner Titanic, one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history. At the time of the disaster, Titanic was approximately two-thirds of the way through her Atlantic crossing bound for New York, having left Southampton, England, on 10 April. Many of the times are imprecisely known, since they occurred near midnight when timepieces were to be adjusted.
