The violin Hartley played as the Titanic went down became a symbol of courage and strength.

この文章中の”as"は、『タイタニック号が沈んでいく中』という様態を表していて、翻訳すると『タイタニック号が沈んでいく中Hertleyが弾いたヴァイオリンは、のちに勇気と強さのシンボルになった』となります。

”as"はいくつも意味があって、この文章中では『〜につれて』『〜しながら』など、動作や様態を表しています。

あまり説明するのは得意ではなく、意味が分からなかったらごめんなさい........

as は前置詞、接続詞、副詞、関係代名詞として働きます。
ここで使われているas は接続詞で
「～しているとき、~しながら、~すると同時に」
という意味になります。似た意味のwhen よりも同時性が強いです。

詳しく見ると、元の文はこうなんです。
The violin ^ became a symbol of courage and strength.
(そのバイオリンは勇気と強さの象徴となった)

で、「そのバイオリン」とはどんなバイオリンかを説明する↓の部分が^ のところに挟み込まれてます。
(which) Hartley played as the Titanic went down
(タイタニックが沈むときにHartleyが弾いた)直訳
(沈みゆくタイタニックでHartleyが演奏した)意訳

*(which)は省略されています

この文で「～するときに」という意味でas が使われることによって、when よりも同時性が強調され「沈みつつあるタイタニック船内で不安や恐ろしさと葛藤しながらも心をなだめようと弾いた」情景がありありと浮かび、そのような経験を経た「そのバイオリン」と読み手に強く印象付ける働きをしています、
