<Li> Between 1,490 and 1,635 deaths </Li> <Li> Improvements to navigational safety </Li> <P> RMS Titanic sank in the early morning of 15 April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, four days into the ship's maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City . The largest passenger liner in service at the time, Titanic had an estimated 2,224 people on board when she struck an iceberg at around 23: 40 (ship's time) on Sunday, 14 April 1912 . Her sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02: 20 (ship's time; 05: 18 GMT) on Monday, 15 April, resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, which made it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history . </P> <P> Titanic received six warnings of sea ice on 14 April but was travelling near her maximum speed when her lookouts sighted the iceberg . Unable to turn quickly enough, the ship suffered a glancing blow that buckled her starboard side and opened five of her sixteen compartments to the sea . Titanic had been designed to stay afloat with four of her forward compartments flooded but no more, and the crew soon realised that the ship would sink . They used distress flares and radio (wireless) messages to attract help as the passengers were put into lifeboats . In accordance with existing practice, Titanic's lifeboat system was designed to ferry passengers to nearby rescue vessels, not to hold everyone on board simultaneously; therefore, with the ship sinking rapidly and help still hours away, there was no safe refuge for many of the passengers and crew . Compounding this, poor management of the evacuation meant many boats were launched before they were completely full . </P>
