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.

What was the name of the ship that tried to warn the titanic of the icbergs and later ignored the titanics distress calls?

Well the ss californian was quite near but they didnt help the titanic, there was also another ship, Sampson which was two to five miles away. It ignored the titanic because it had a lot of seals on board that they had illegally been hunting.


Why did they call the SS Titanic by that name?

The adjective "titanic" comes from the Greek gods called the Titans, who were a powerful ruling race. Titanic was an immense ship for its time and was considered to be a "ruler" of the seas. It had two sister ships; one was called Olympic, also in honor of the Greek gods, and the other was Brittanic, in honor of England and its symbol Britannia.It was also custom for White Star ships to have names ending in ' ic ' like the Titanic's sister ship 'Olympic'
