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

∙ 12y agono, the Californian was but the Carphia was the only boat that rescued the survivors of the titanic. This was because the Californian had it's radio off for the night, and the Titanic couldn't reach her. The Carphia, on the other hand, was to far away to help when the ship sunk, but was close enough to pick up those who had made it to a lifeboat.
