I am doing a research paper on the Titanic. My resources said it set off April 10th, 1914. My other resource said it sank on April 14,1912. This can't be right, do you know what it really is? Thanks!

RMS Titanic was an Olympic-class passenger liner that became infamous for its collision with an iceberg, and for its dramatic sinking on April 14, 1912. The second of a trio of superliners, she and her sisters, RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic, were designed to provide a three-ship weekly express service and dominate the transatlantic travel business for the White Star Line. She struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. (ship's time) on Sunday evening April 14, 1912, and sank two hours and forty minutes later, after breaking into two pieces at the aft expansion joint, 2:20 a.m. Monday morning April 15.

The Titanic sat off from Southampton, England to New York City on April 10 1912, it hit an ice berg on April 14th just before midnight, so it sank the 14 thru the 15 th of 1912.

Other than your date of April 10, l914 Your information is correct!
It should have been April 10, 1912,
The Starting Date is obvious the date that this great Ship started its journey from where it was built to "start" on its Maiden Voyage across the Atlantic and it had stops on its way to pick up passengers and supplies, etc.
The sinking date is when this great Ship sank beneath the waves of the Atlantic off New Foundland - on its way to New York City.
