What was the name of the ship that picked up over 700 survivors from the Titanic?
RMS Titanic set out to render assistance. She arrived well after "Carpathia" had already picked up all the survivors. The inquiries found that the ship seen by "Californian" was in fact "Titanic" and that it would have been possible for "Californian" to come to her rescue; therefore, Captain Lord had acted improperly in failing to do so. The number of casualties of the sinking is unclear, due to a number of factors. These include confusion over the passenger list, which included some names of people who cancelled their trip at the last minute, and the fact that several passengers travelled under aliases
United States Senate inquiry into the sinking of the RMS Titanic hours of April 15, 1912 while the ship was on its maiden voyage from Southampton, United Kingdom, to New York City, United States. The sinking was caused by a collision with an iceberg in the North Atlantic some 700 nautical miles east of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Over 1500 passengers and crew died, with some 710 survivors in "Titanic"s lifeboats rescued by a short time later. There was initially some confusion in both the USA and the UK over the extent of the disaster, with some newspapers at first reporting that the ship and the passengers and crew were safe. By
