At about 12:10 a.m Captain Smith told Jack Phillips, titanic's wireless operator, to send out distress signals. The Olympic, the Frankfurt, and the Carpathia responded. Carpathia was the closest and Carpathia told Captain Smith it was 58 miles (93 km) away.

What was the first ship to rescue Titanic survivors?

The ship that arrived to pick up survivors from the Titanic was the RMS Carpathia, operated by the rival Cunard line from 1903 to 1918. (Carpathia itself was sunk by a German U-boat in World War I.)Although many ships answered the Titanic's distress calls, the Carpathia was the ship who picked up the passengers that night. It then took the survivors to New York, and gave White Star Line the owners of the Titanic, back it's lifeboats.The boat that rescued the Titanic survivors was the RMS Carpathia, a small single-funnelled Cunard liner taking a group of mostly elderly American tourists on a cruise of the Mediterranean. She was commanded by Capt. Arthur H.Rostron- picking up the Titanic's SOS messages, she steamed full-speed through the night, arriving at the scene of the disaster just after dawn, rescuing all survivors and salvaging most of the lifeboats before heading for New York.Carpathia was herself sunk in the last months of WW1, topedoe'd by a German submarine whilst part of a coal convoy to Boston in 1918. Fortunately though, all on board were rescued- she currently lies in only about 400ft of water of the West coast of Ireland, and is accessible to scuba divers.The Carpathia under the command of Capt. Arthur Rostron was the first ship to rescue survivors of the Titanic sinking.
