Which ships received distress signals from 'Titanic'?
It is not known because some ships could have heard the distress call but not responded to it but some of the ships that did were the Mount temple, Frankfurt, Carpathia, Prinz Adalbert and the Titanic's sister ship Olympic. One land based wireless station on cape race, Newfoundlands also herd their distress call.
How long did it take for Mount Temple to get to the Titanic?
The Mount Temple was one of the first ships to respond to the Titanic distress call and reached the relevant area around 4:10 AM, some four hours and ten minutes after the first distress call. However she was unable to assist as she was separated from the position by an ice field. The impact with the iceberg is believed to have occurred at 23:40 hours (GMT).The distress call was sent out after Captain Smith discussed with the ships designer Thomas Andrews how long the ship could stay afloat. Since the damage was known to be considerable (a gash of around 300 feet or 90 metres) and that water had risen 14 feet in the first 10 minutes, Andrews determined that it would take 60 to 90 minutes to sink. Captain Smith thus ordered the distress call to be sent out at midnight.There is also some conjecture or discussion about the correct position of the Titanic and that the position given was not entirely accurate, thus hindering the potential rescuer in this case.
