The Titanic could have been saved by another ship but the messager on that ship had gone to bed a few minutes before the titanic sent out the distress call.
The Californian was the closest ship to the Titanic at the time of the sinking. There are accounts by Titanic officers that they could see her on the horizon, and could see her running lights. She had stopped for the night and her wireless operator had retired for the evening. Attempts to flash her via Morse lamp (these were located on the bridge's wing cabs, on both port and starboard sides, next to the red and green running lights) were unsuccessful, and she only learned of the terrible tragedy the next morning, when her marconi operator manned the set. To answer the question, had the Californian's wireless operator been awake at the time Titanic sent out distress calls, 1,500 people may not have lost their lives that day.

∙ 12y agoOnly god could have saved those people.But the titanic should have had enough boats for everyone on the ship.If they had, much much more people would have survived.But they believed nothing could sink the ship therefore the did not put enough life boats on the boat and therefore they killed about 1,500 people.I doubt they all could have survived.The people who were of lower class were put on the lower parts of the boat and were not ablr to escape.If they would have been prepared though it would,NT have been as bad.
Tip. Read Dear Americas diary of Margaret ann brady.It shows a really good perspective of what happened.
She was a Survivor.
improved by milkshakergirl:
there obviously wasnt enough lifeboats so the crew sent off fireworks to try and signal another boat. there WAS a boat within 35 min from the titanic who saw the fire works but, because the titanic was new this boat thought that they were only celebrating the new boat

∙ 12y agoMore lives could have been saved on the titanic by having enough life boats that could carry all the passengers on board. The titanic was considered "unsinkable" so enough lifeboats were not put on the titanic.

What happens if the Titanic survived?
maybe it would survived. if the titanic (if easier) went through the iceberg, instead of moving on the other side, it would have less water in it and it would be easier to close the water carpartments.
If all the ships lifeboats were filled to capacity how many people could have been saved?
the capacity of the boats on Titanic was 1,178. 2,208 people were sailing her the night of the sinking. If all seats were occupied, then 1030 people would still be on Titanic (as opposed to the 1,496 that really were).
Could there still be bodies on the Titantic?
Yes but it is highly unlikely. The lack of oxygen and the cold water the Titanic is in would tend to preserve bodies or anything else organic. However, the current and length of time the Titanic has been submerged would probably allow enough oxygen to have passed through the ship's hull of microorganisms and smaller bottom-scavenging animals to have consumed everything inside.
Have any people found any remaining of the people on bord when tjhe titanic had sunk?
No. Any bodies that could have been in Titanic at the time of the sinking have been long since dissolved by calcium carbonates.
What ship did titanic almost hit?
In Southampton, Titanic had a near-collision with the New York who was almost sucked into Titanic's wake. Many people took this as a bad omen. Others felt that it could have been a good omen, that it could be the only negative incident on the trip.
Could haved the people in the Titanic have been rescued?
Probably, yes. An unknown ship (rumoured to be the Californian) was spotted in the distance as the Titanic was sinking. It could have saved many if not all lives if it had went to the sinking Titanic.
How many could have been saved on the titanic?
1005
Could more people have been saved on titanic boats?
If there had been more lifeboats aboard the Titanic, then yes more people could have been saved. There was time and capacity to save more lives even with the original amount of lifeboats, but because of the lack obvious signs of damage and danger, many were reluctant to leave the boat to get on the much smaller lifeboats. The lifeboats were designed to hold 40 people, but many were launched only partly full.
Why would it have been impossible for all the passengers to be saved on the Titanic?
There were more passengers and crew than the lifeboats could hold.
What happens if the Titanic survived?
maybe it would survived. if the titanic (if easier) went through the iceberg, instead of moving on the other side, it would have less water in it and it would be easier to close the water carpartments.
How many lives have airbags saved?
lots and lots of lives have been saved by airbags. its indeed very cool.
If all the ships lifeboats were filled to capacity how many people could have been saved?
the capacity of the boats on Titanic was 1,178. 2,208 people were sailing her the night of the sinking. If all seats were occupied, then 1030 people would still be on Titanic (as opposed to the 1,496 that really were).
What could have been done to pervent the loss of lives on the titanic?
Most of the people would have survived if they had more lifeboats, and didn't shut the water-tight doors. Not shutting the doors would let the water balance out and not sink one side so that it wouldn't break the titanic in half, and even if that wouldn't work, they would have saved a lot of people if they had more lifeboats.
How could Woolworth's have been saved?
