The Titanic took approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes to sink after hitting the iceberg. It struck the iceberg around 11:40 p.m. ship's time on April 14, 1912, and fully sank by about 2:20 a.m. on April 15, 1912. While some accounts note that certain sections of the ship sank faster, the total time from collision to the ship's complete submersion was about 160 minutes.
