The Titanic sank at 2:22 AM and the Carpathia arrived near dawn that morning, so about three to four hours. But it was another hour or so before the last lifeboat was rescued.
It took 4 hours for the first ship to arrive to assist with the rescue operation.

∙ 6y agoThe titanic sunk at 2.20 am but official help did not arrive until 4.10 am meaning that it took 1 hour and 50 minutes for help to arrive. Only two of the eighteen lifeboats launched came back to help the remaining survivors. One was near by andmanaged to pick up 5 people - two of which died later on. The other cam back an hour later and picked up four people - one of which died later on. They managed to save only six. All the others died partly because there were not enough lifeboats and partly because some of the lifeboats went out half-empty. For example: A 40-people capacity boat went out with only 12 people.

Which ship want to help Titanic?
Alot of ships tryed to help the Titanic. The closest ship to respond was the Carpathia. She could get to Titanic in 4 hours. Many ships to help the Titanic did not go to where Titanic was because they knew they there were closer ships responding e.g Baltic, Verginia and Frankfurt. These ships relayed messages to other ships and to camp race. Titanic's sister ship Olympic also made full steam towards Titanic and asked Titanic's wireless operator if Titanic was moving south to meet her. On the 15th April several more ships arrived to look for survivors including the Mount Temple and the California whose wireless operator had no idea what had happened to the Titanic until the Mount Temple told him what had happened.
Did the Titanic have radio problems?
no a near by ship turned off their radio for the night when the titanic was calling for help
How did people help the titanic when it was sinking?
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).
Did the titanic call for help?
Yes, Titanic called for help. The first distress signal was sent out after midnight at 12:27.
Was the Carphia the nearest ship to the Titanic?
no the Carpathia was the first ship that came to the rescue of the Titanic. By the time it came it was daylight and many had died in the freezing cold waters. When the distress signal from Titanic was sent, the nearest ship, the Californian (i think it was called), wouldn't have made it in time before the ship sank
