The Californian was in the water nearby but they'd shut their radios off and had stopped for the night because of the iceberg warnings. The Carpathia was further away but had their radios on and responded to Titanic's distress calls, arriving the morning after the sinking. The Californian also assisted with rescue in the morning after their radios had been turned back on and they could hear the radio traffic from the Carpathia.

The ship's radio operators sent out the distress signal to alert nearby vessels for help.

what was the issue behind shays rebellion?

Shays' Rebellion, which occurred in 1786-1787, was primarily fueled by economic distress among farmers in western Massachusetts who were facing high taxes and heavy debt. Many were struggling to pay these debts and were at risk of losing their farms due to foreclosure. The unrest highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, as the federal government was unable to effectively respond to the crisis, ultimately leading to calls for a stronger national government.


What was shays rebellion and why did it contribute to the calling of a constitutional convention?

Shays' Rebellion was an armed uprising in 1786-1787 led by Massachusetts farmers, particularly veterans of the Revolutionary War, protesting economic injustices and the lack of government response to their financial distress. The rebellion highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, particularly the inability of the federal government to maintain order or respond effectively to civil unrest. This unrest prompted calls for a stronger national government, ultimately leading to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, where the U.S. Constitution was drafted to address these issues.

An average police man simply must respond to calls made by people in a certain area or jurisdiction. If not on a call, a police man may walk a beat(mainly) in a city) or patrol an area in a police car. There are also things they may do at the station, such as answering 9-1-1 calls and dispatching the correct personnel to the scene or crime. Their main job is to keep order and maintain civil peace.

What was the californian in the story Titanic?

The California was the closest ship to Titanic when she sank. They did not respond to the Titanic calls of distress because the wireless operator on the California was asleep because he was the only operator on board and had been working since dawn on the 14th. Another reason the California is important is because of the unusual circumstances surrounding the California. It was transporting an unknown cargo and some of her crew had only a week to prepare including the wireless operator who took the wrong chart with him and so did not know what ship they could see in the distance. If he had the chart then it would have told him that it was the Titanic and they might had made more of an attempt to contact her.


Why did titanic sinking distress calls to britannica go unanswered?

There were no laws yet in place about when the distress radios had to be monitored. Not all ships even had them. The Britannica only had crew monitoring her radio during day time hours. Titanic had her collision at night while the Britannica crew slept.


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.

Why did nobody go to help the Titanic when it was sinking?

Carpathia did. It was 58 miles away at the time, so it couldn't get there in time to rescue everyone, but it did respond to distress calls and alter its course to find the survivors. Other ships either were even farther away, or did not have their ship's radios turned on (there was no law at the time requiring a ship's radio to be on past midnight). It was simply a case of bad luck.
