They were about 58 miles away when the Titanic first sent out a distress signal, so speed became very important. The level of danger was exactly the same as what Titanic had faced, so Rostron prepared for this by having every crew member on the deck and on the lookout for icebergs, as well as the Titanic's lifeboats.
