Titanic is the most iconic ship in history, its tragic story known the world over. The most celebrated ocean liner of its time even before it first sailed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What happened to it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hit an iceberg 11:40 p.m. (ship's time) 14 April 1912 on her maiden voyage and sank 2 h 40 min later
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah well erm no actually.

Until now, the general assumption has been that the 11:40 o’clock time of the accident came exactly 11 hours and 40 minutes after noon that Sunday. This paper demonstrates that long-standing assumption to be incorrect. In actuality, 12 hours and 4 minutes had passed since noon. The 11:40 o’clock was not recorded in April 14th ship’s time as has been assumed. Rather, it was recorded in a special reference – “crew time” – created to affect an orderly “midnight” change of watch.

Time confusion arises out of the fact the ship was steaming west, chasing the sun. Titanic was far too slow to catch the sun, but its speed effectively caused days on board to get longer. On Sunday, April 14th (day of the accident) the officers calculated the day would be 47 minutes longer than the expected 24 hours.

Extra Time Falls Within April 14th
2400 Apr 14 + 0047 extra = 2447 Apr 14 = 0000 Apr 15

There is no way to describe the 47 extra minutes in the 12-hour o’clock Titanic Time system. They were neither “a.m.” nor “p.m.” but something else for which we have no accepted terminology.

Damn, you have spoiled my ruse I wanted the tyke to convert the time to GMT

I've seen so many faces, I've so many places, but nothing compares to this RMS Titanic forum
