Question

About how much time passed between the Titanic hitting the iceberg and the survivors being rescued?

Answer 1

The Titanic sank approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes after hitting the iceberg and the survivors were rescued about 1 hour and 50 minutes after the sinking.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Titanic hit the iceberg at 11:40pm on April 14, 1912, and it sank approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes later, at 2:20am on April 15, 1912.

During this time, the crew launched distress signals, evacuated the passengers into lifeboats, and attempted to contact nearby ships for rescue.

Eventually, the survivors were rescued by the RMS Carpathia, which arrived at the location of the sinking at approximately 4:10am, about 1 hour and 50 minutes after the Titanic sank.

Answer 2

About 3 hours and 50 minutes lapsed from the Titanic hitting the iceberg to the arrival of the Carpathia, with the Titanic sinking 2 hours and 40 minutes after the impact.

Step-by-step explanation:

About two hours and forty minutes passed between the Titanic hitting the iceberg and the arrival of the rescue ship Carpathia to save the survivors. The Titanic struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on April 14, 1912, and it sank at 2:20 a.m. on April 15. The Carpathia arrived approximately at 3:30 a.m., around an hour after the Titanic fully submerged. Hence, from the collision to the arrival of the rescue ship, approximately 3 hours and 50 minutes lapsed, but the time between the sinking and rescue was about an hour and 10 minutes.
