Where was titanic planning to go?
The RMS Titanic was constructed in Belfast in what what was then The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (now the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). England being a separate country within the UK then and now, she then "traveled" to England to embark passengers in Southampton. On her maiden voyage she also picked up passengers while laying off Cherbourg in the French Republic (République française) and then steamed to waters off Queenstown which is now known as An Cobh in what is today The Republic of Ireland (Eire).
Construction does not count as visiting, so the vessel "visited" two countries, England and France as of 1912, three countries by modern geography.

What ship didn't respond to the Titanic?
Most vessels within range of her powerful wireless did receive it, but were unable to make it to the scene in time before she went down. The one vessel that did not receive the SOS signsl was the small British liner Californian, the reasons for this being that she was stuck in pack ice and also the wireless operator was not on duty to hear her distress calls. The Californian was only 10 miles distant from Titanic and the Board of Enquiry after the disaster heavily criticised her captain for not having taken adequate measures to respond to any nearby vessels that were in distress.
