There were at least 3, but they were either unaware of the catastrophe or unable to respond in time to save most of the victims, many of whom were immersed in ice-cold water.

The RMS Carpathia was the closest and eventually rescued many of those in the Titanic's lifeboats, arriving at the scene about an hour and a half after Titanic went down, or about 4 AM on April 15, 1912. It returned to New York with the survivors.

The SS Californian was thought to have been within sight of Titanic, but it is possible that it was the SS Mount Temple, which arrived at the sinking site after the Carpathia had completed rescue operations.

All three ships were later sunk by German ships during World War I.

Other ships had passed nearby the day before and warned of the ice fields that sank Titanic : SS Amerika, RMS Caronia, RMS Baltic, and the steamer Mesaba.
