What distress signal was the titanic fist to use?
The first thing Titanic did to signal other ships was to use a Morse lamp (a light that would be turned on and off to send messages to other ships who were close by) They used this to try to contact a nearby ship the crew could see (the S.S California) When the ship did not respond Titanic fired white rockets into the sky. While doing this they sent out wireless messages saying CQD (all stations distress) and their position. (The position that they said was actually wrong but they quickly realized this and sent out their revised position.

What ship didn't respond to the Titanic?
Most vessels within range of her powerful wireless did receive it, but were unable to make it to the scene in time before she went down. The one vessel that did not receive the SOS signsl was the small British liner Californian, the reasons for this being that she was stuck in pack ice and also the wireless operator was not on duty to hear her distress calls. The Californian was only 10 miles distant from Titanic and the Board of Enquiry after the disaster heavily criticised her captain for not having taken adequate measures to respond to any nearby vessels that were in distress.

How were the survivors on Titanic rescued?
In response to distress signals sent by wireless radio operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride aboard the Titanic, the Cunard Line's RMS Carpathia steamed for just under 4 hours to reach the survivors of the wreck. At 4:10am the crew of the Carpathia began rescuing Titanic passengers and crew from the life boats with the last souls being picked up around 8:30am. The ship then departed around 8:50am for New York where the survivors were dropped off at Pier 54. While other ships were reportedly closer to the Titanic at the time of the sinking, the RMS Carpathia was the closest ship to respond. There were reports of the lights from a nearby ship being visible to the Titanic crew at the time of their distress signal, but the identity of that ship has never been confirmed. It may have been the SS Californian, which had attempted to warn the Titanic about the ice, but had turned it's radio off when the wireless operator aboard the Titanic brushed off their warnings.
