∙ 9y agoThere was no known number of ships that picked up the distress call. What we do know that the RMS Carpathia was the closest that responded and made her way to the site. The SS Californian was geographically closer, but her wireless operator turned in for the night, missing the critical distress calls. Criticism was leveled on her captain as reportedly some of his crew did see the flares shot from the Titanic, but they did not act on it. Both the Californian, and the SS Mount Temple arrived several hours later to the site.
