The Titanic collided with a massive iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean at 11:40 p.m. on the night of April 14, 1912. The impact damaged at least five of its reportedly watertight compartments. Since the Titanic could remain afloat with no more than four compartments filled with water, it sank and disappeared beneath the ocean surface less than three hours later, at 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912.
