Any ship in the area of its transmitting which the two closest ships were the California, two hours away which was enough time, and the Carpathia, four hours away which was too much time.

When they are in distress.
In April 1912, as it was happening (the Titanic crew were able to send out an SOS, which was received by nearby ships).
I believe, that the news of the titantic sinking was reported first by the ship that rescued the people of the sinking titanic, by responding to SOS to relay the message to others
RMS Titanic struck the iceberg at approximately 11:40pm on the 14th of April and a distress call was sent out just after midnight.
SOS is a message to help

The book "SOS Titanic" by Eve Bunting has a total of 21 chapters.
S O SJohn G. Phillips, was the Chief Marconi operator who sent the final distress message from the ill-fated Titanic. The message was transmitted with a spark transmitter and it included the new "SOS" signal, as well as the more conventional "CQD" signal. The actual message was "CQD CQD SOS SOS CQD DE MGY MGY", MGY being the call sign of the Titanic. The worst aspect of the disaster was the fact the California was sitting only ten miles away and capable of rescuing all the passengers. Besides the futile radio messages the crew of the Titanic fired rockets for two hours trying to get her attention, but the officers on duty aboard the California never understood the reason for the rockets. Only when the radio operator went back on duty did the California learn the news from other rescue ships about the Titanic. Another ship, the Carpathia, was 58 miles away when she received the Titanic SOS.

In the film "Mission Titanic," the Morse code message is "SOS." This distress signal is universally recognized and signifies an urgent call for help. The use of this code in the film underscores the themes of danger and the need for rescue amidst the unfolding tragedy.
