Description
As we now Approach the 110th anniversary and Her Sinking I will go by Order and Time the Ship Sinks and may go in 3 or 4 parts.

As Titanic Made her final stop in the Middle of the North Atlantic after hitting the iceberg, Thomas Andrews and Captain Smith Go over and Check the Damage and With the help of Mr. Andrews' Experience in the Design he Confirms that Titanic has 2 hours and a half to last until end (although the Pumps will take Minutes of delay but would not help for long)

12:00 AM
The lifeboats begin to be readied for launch. The 20 boats have space for only 1,178 of the more than 2,200 people on board. An order is later given for women and children to board first, with crewmen to row and guide the boats.

Note later on: During the Boarding of the Lifeboats, only half full would be launch and the "Women and Children first" policy would be in the hands of first Officer Murdock while 2nd Officer Lightoller went "Women and Children only" leading to every men Perishing later on.

12:20 AM
As already seen earlier, Mr. Andrews' Experience in the Design he Confirms that Titanic has 2 hours and a half to last until end (although the Pumps will take Minutes of delay but would not help for long)

12:25 AM
Captain Smith orders Phillips and Harold Bride to send out a distress signal. Although SOS became the official distress signal several years earlier, many still use CQD. (CQ signifies a general call, and the D means distress.) Over the next several hours, Phillips will send out both.

12:27 AM
Eye Witness spotted a Light in the Horizon (unknown if it was Conformed to be the S.S Californian who stopped for the night).

12:30 AM
The Frankfurt is among the first to respond, but the liner is some 170 nautical miles (315 km) away, to the south. Other ships also offer assistance—including the Titanic's sister ship the Olympic—but are too far away.

12:32 AM
Lifeboats began swinging out

12:35 AM
Fourth Officer Joseph G. Boxhall, tasked with determining the Titanic's position, revises the coordinates. The location is now given as 41°46’ N 50°14’ W in the distress signals.

12:37 AM
The Carpathia receives a distress signal from the Titanic: “Come at once. We have struck a berg. It's a CQD, old man.” The Cunard liner immediately changes course to aid the stricken ship some 58 nautical miles (107 km) away. It will take the Carpathia more than three hours to arrive.

12:45 AM
Number 7 on the starboard side is the first lifeboat lowered. It carries some 27 people even though it has room for 65. Many of the first lifeboats will be launched well below capacity, partially because of the crewmen's worry that the davits would be unable to hold a fully loaded lifeboat. In addition, many passengers are initially afraid to leave the ship, believing that the Titanic is unsinkable.

Passengers waiting to enter lifeboats are entertained by the Titanic's musicians, who initially play in the first-class lounge before eventually moving to the ship's deck. Sources will differ on how long they perform—until shortly before the ship sinks, according to some. Speculation will also surround the last song they perform—likely either “Autumn” or “Nearer My God to Thee.” None of the musicians will survive the sinking.
