"Near" is relative but there WERE boats in that region when she sank such as the Californian, the Frankfort, the Amerika, the Birma, the Mount Temple, and maybe some others.
The Olympic was on the water but she was much too far to assist.

∙ 7y agoTitanic is so far down, the only human activity down there is basically special Deep-sea submersibles and submarines.
No one but anyone specifically going to Titanic is ever going to bump into the wreck.

∙ 12y agoYes really neat story. You should Wiki it.
They did not find it right after it sank 1912 (the year it sank) did not have advanced enough technology to search for it (since it sank really far down) in 1985 Robert Ballard found it.

∙ 12y agoWireless operators Phillips and Bride tryed to contact any near by ships, but all were too far. The nearest ship contacted, was the Carpathia, but she would take four hours to reach the Titanic. That would be too late. Although the Carpathia was the nearest ship contacted, there was a ship nearer. This ship was the Californian. The Californian, had tried to reach the Titanic earlier, before the collision, to warn her about ice. The Californian, though, was told to shut up and get off the line. The Californian decided to turn in for the night, and turned off their wireless. The California was so close, her officers could see the Titanic and wondered why she looked "so queer?"

Why did they let women and children on the life boats of the titanic?
On the Titanic the captain decided to use a women and children first protocol where seats in the limited number of lifeboats would be given to women first and any remaining space once the women were loaded to men.

What are some situational ironic situation of titanic?
people thought that the titanic was unsinkable and they had about 20 lifeboats which wouldn't even take half the crew and passengers to safety. the main reason for these life boats was that if any boats nearby needed help.
Where are Titanic's life boats NOW in 2010?
The last time Titanic's lifeboats were accounted for was December 1912, when they were still warehoused in the upper levels of the White Star Line pier in New York, Pier 59. They were NOT reintegrated into the WSL fleet because the design of all subsequent lifeboats for any vessel was different, notably the 48 additional boats added to Olympic, Titanic's sister ship. Most likely, sometime after December 1912, Titanic's boats were discarded.
Why do ships stay away from icebergs?
90% of an iceberg is underwater. Ships or any other type of boats sailing in very cold regions have the possibility of misjudging the size of an iceberg and hitting them. The ship can crash into an iceberg that creates a hole in the ship and floods everyone on the ship. Example: Titanic

the titanic is important because it was a revolution of the 'ship industry' and it was a major catastophe aswell as such a large number of people died for two silly reason; there were not enough life boats and they didn't take any notice when other ships told them there was an iceburg.
