There were two ships close to the Titanic when ity sank. the Carpathia and the Mount Temple. Only the Carpathia made it on time and helped rescue 700 people out of life boats. 1,490 people died. Hoped that answered your question.
The closest one was the Californian. It was so close that they could see the flares shot off from the Titanic, but they didn't respond because their captain thought the Titanic was having a party.

∙ 15y agoThe nearest ship to the Titanic was the Californian. The ship had been caught between some Icebergs so the crew switched off and turned in for the night, which is why they failed to heed the distress signals sent out by the Titanic's crew. Therefore to answer the question, it was the Carpathia, the ship that rescued the survivors that would have been seconf nearest to the Titanic on the night it sank.
