It has never been fully explained, but at the enquiry it was established that the Californian's officers saw distress rockets but no-one on board treated them seriously. The Californian had a wireless telegraphy set and an operator, but a single operator could not keep watch 24 hours per day and the Californian's operator was in bed. The Captain was also in bed and it didn't occur to anyone to wake up the wireless operator, so they missed the whole thing.

∙ 14y agoThe Californian was able to reach America without encountering any icebergs of the sort that sank Titanic. However, investigations were launched by the American and British governments to determine whether the Californian would have been able to save many of the casualties if it had not ignored the emergency rockets Titanic was firing (the Californianwas <20 miles away).

∙ 8y agoThe Californian was very close to the Titanic when it was sinking, and the radio controllers had gone to sleep already so they didnt receive the mayday calls from the Titanic, but if the controllers had been awake and listening they would have heard the mayday calls and been close enough to get to the Titanic before it submerged, and would have saved hundreds more lives.

∙ 6y agoNo. The Californian has been blamed for not coming to the aid of Titanic. She was in pack ice and may-or-may-not have even made it in time but that's not the question.
The question is "did she try?" and the answer is "no".

∙ 6y agoThe telegraphist on the Californian broke protocol by interrupting Titanic without the proper greeting, thus the iceberg warning went unheeded.

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.
