RMS Titanic (also SS Titanic) was the largest passenger steamship in the world at the time of her launching, and her builders hoped that she would dominate the transatlantic ocean liner business. During her maiden voyage, she struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. on Sunday evening, April 14, 1912 and sank two hours and twenty minutes later (2:20 a.m.) The sinking resulted in great loss of life, ranking as one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history, and by far the most famous.
