What were the names of the ships which rescued the survivors of the Titanic sinking within 72 hours?
Major one, there were others, but the Carpathia gets historical first place as the fastest to the rescue. The founder of NBC, David Snaroff, was the radio man; the wireless had just gotten into commercial usage and S.O. S just got there.
There is more to the situation than the movie with deCaprio and the really good looking girl on the prow of the ship.
Example: the North Star Line's problems really made it much safer to go anywhere by boat; the safety provisons got serious even for people who were not rich and who were below deck.
Certainty to this day about the problems with the design have not been resolved.

President William H. Taft was in the midst of a reelection campaign which at the time was creating deep divisions from within the Republican party. Though the Titanic disaster put a pause to politics, he did little to help Titanic survivors. He did not launch an investigative commission on the disaster, nor did he do the sensible thing and not have flags be lowered for a national mourning. His only positive ties to Titanic was that he spoke at the funeral of Major Archibald Butt, who was a Titanic victim and close friend of Taft's.

Why didn't the closest ship rush to the rescue of the titanic?
OK, the closest ship to the Titanic when it sent out the distress signal was the California. It did have a wireless radio because all ships did at the time. Its wireless was turned off for the night because of the rude message the Titanic sent to it so it couldn't hear the Titanic's messages. Unfortunately, the California was only 2 hours away from the Titanic and would have gotten to the doomed ship in time. The only ship within range was The Carpathia which was the one who came to the rescue.
