After the sinking of Titanic, an inquiry was put to Officer Rowe regarding the distress rockets and he reckoned he must have shot off about eight.
This is interesting because the officers of the nearby SS Californian were inquired about how many rockets they witnessed that same night and their guess was between six-and-ten.
Exactly 4.
Officers on the Californian watched eight rockets shot from Titanic, by their reckoning. Later, at the inquiry, Officer Rowe was asked how many rockets he fired and he estimated the amount to be 6-10.
The Carpathia was the ship that came to the rescue of the survivors of the Titanic. The SS Californian, however, was the closest ship to the Titanic at the time of its sinking. It did not respond to distress calls made from the Titanic.
It has never been fully explained, but at the enquiry it was established that the Californian's officers saw distress rockets but no-one on board treated them seriously. The Californian had a wireless telegraphy set and an operator, but a single operator could not keep watch 24 hours per day and the Californian's operator was in bed. The Captain was also in bed and it didn't occur to anyone to wake up the wireless operator, so they missed the whole thing.
The Titanic had four smokestacks.
No lions were onboard the Titanic.

Many say that the Radio operator for Caifornia had gone to bed, therefore there was no one to hear the distress messages from Titanic
Well, the obvious answer is that the Hindenburg was an airship (zeppelin), and the Titanic was an ocean liner. Most deaths in the Hindenburg were from fire or jumping from the airship, while most deaths on the Titanic were from drowning or exposure. Finally, there were many more deaths on the Titanic than on the Hindenburg.
Many rockets that go into space do carry humans, but, most rockets do not.
