It is documented that the Titanic's distress call was picked up by The Mount temple, Frankfurt, Carpathia, Prinz Adalbert and the Titanic's sister ship the Olympic. The ship that responded (was nearest) was the Carpathia, and this picked up the survivors.
The Amsterdam ship sank on September 5, 1667, after running aground near the coast of the Isle of Texel in the Netherlands. The vessel was part of a fleet returning from a voyage to the East Indies. Despite efforts to save it, the ship was ultimately lost.

On February 16th, 1986 the Russian cruise ship Mikhail Lermontov ran aground not at the entrance to Wellington Harbour but in the Marlborough Sounds on the opposite side of Cook Strait from Wellington.
They pretty much didn't, which was part of the problem. The closest ship didn't have a wireless operator on duty (just before going to bed, he had attempted to warn the Titanic by radio about ice ahead, and had been told to "shut up" since the Titanic's wireless operator was busy), and the ships that did pick up the distress call were too far away to arrive in time (the nearest ship that responded to the distress call was almost 60 miles away... about four hours travel time).
The first ship to send out an SOS distress signal was the RMS Slavonia. This incident occurred on June 10, 1909, when the ship ran aground off the Azores. The SOS signal was a new distress call introduced in 1905 and was intended to improve maritime communication during emergencies.

The ship, forced in by a storm, ran aground on a small island.
"The ship ran aground just of the coast of NewFoundland" is one you could use.
If a ship is in grave and imminent danger, it makes a distress call using the term "Mayday" repeated three times, followed by the vessel's name, position, and nature of the distress. This call is typically made on VHF channel 16 or via other communication methods. The Mayday call alerts nearby vessels and maritime authorities to provide immediate assistance.

It is what happens to a ship when it sales into water that is shallower than its keel depth. It gets stuck on the bottum and is no longer afloat - it is aground.
When a ship is touching bottom and unable to move, it is said to be aground. This situation poses a risk of damage to the ship's hull and machinery and requires immediate action to safely refloat the vessel. Aground ships can be assisted by tugboats or by lightening the load to reduce draft.
