Explanation
The ship that was only a few miles away from the RMS Titanic when it struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912, was the Californian. The Californian had stopped for the night in the same area due to surrounding ice. Despite seeing distress flares fired by the Titanic, the crew of the Californian failed to respond or notify the Titanic's operators, which contributed to the tragic loss of so many lives.
