No, the sinking of the RMS Titanic was not a natural disaster. By definition, a natural disaster is a disaster caused by natural forces (like a hurricane or an earthquake), rather than by human action.
Though the main cause of the RMS Titanic's sinking was the effect of hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage in April 1912, the other cause was human error. So, natural causes did not explicitly cause the RMS Titanic to sink.

∙ 11y agothere are many causes for the sinking of the titanic. one of them is that the owner of the ship ( forgot what it is) wanted to break the current speed record. the second is that it hit an iceberg..... (which sunk it) the third, the captain was going full speed trying to turn away from the iceberg which mean he scraped it along the side of the hull. if he had gone straight at it he would have only hit the fron of the ship meaning it could stay afloat for longer.
the fourth reason is that the builders used substandard-iron nails. the ship was made from over 3 million of them. when the ship hit the iceberg the nails ripped apart very easily. and lastly the iceberg was only 2 meters above the water but was over 150 m under water.
