The Role of the SS Californian
There was much inquiry and speculation about the role of the SS Californian, which saw Titanic’s distress signals but did not come to the ship’s aid. The Californian had previously warned the Titanic of icebergs in the area. Eventually, the Californian arrived at the scene of the disaster but only after the Titanic had already sunk and the Carpathia had rescued all the survivors.
