No particular song, they were just playing ragtime tunes until they could no longer stand upright, to keep the passenger's spirits up.

The story that they were playing 'Nearer, My God To Thee' or the hymn 'Autumn' is a myth- they weren't.

It was either Autumn, or a rendition of Nearer, My God, to Thee. To this day, there's no conclusive evidence as to which song was played for sure, as there's been conflicting accounts as to what was heard by survivors. Even if it were the latter song, there's confusion as to which version was heard...the British version, and the American version.

In the 1997 film Titanic, the American version of Nearer, My God, to Thee was played as the last song.
