Yes. Fourth Officer Joseph G. Boxhall and Quartermaster Alfred Rowe were ordered by Smith to fire distress rockets. These were rockets which burst in a white cluster high enough above the ship to be seen from at least 10-15 miles away or more under favorable conditions. Between 12:45 AM and about 1:45 AM on April 15, 1912, 8 rockets were fired from the sinking Titanic. The only ship that was definitely close enough to see them was the Leyland steamer Californian, whose master, Stanley Lord, inexplicably failed to wake his wireless operator to see if a vessel was in distress. Californian's officers on watch saw all 8 being fired and were only ordered by Lord to try to contact the ship via Morse lamp.

∙ 10y agoYes, they did set off a series of distress fireworks (rockets) to get the attention of any nearby ships. It was reported later that the SS Californian was close enough and some of her crew saw rockets from the Titanic. Unfortunately, it did not head over to save the passengers and crew.
