		As time went on the nearby vessel seemed to move laterally along the Californian's horizon (undoubtedly caused by Californian's slow, drifting rotation to starboard), and Second Officer Stone came to the mistaken conclusion that the nearby vessel had begun steaming away from the Californian.
		The Californian's Captain Lord denied these charges, claiming that his vessel had been situated about nineteen miles north of (and beyond visual rage of) the Titanic while the latter was sinking.
		Californian notifies the Virginian that she is already within sight of the Carpathia and the Titanic's lifeboats.

	The Californian Incident, A Reality Check : ET Research (2001) by Tracy Smith, Michael H. Standart & Captain Erik D. ...
		The Californian -- The ship was a very typical cargo vessel of the time that started life as Hull# 159 at Caladon Shipbuilding in Dundee Scotland where she was launched on November 26, 1901.
		His vessel, the SS Californian was claimed to have been stopped for the night within sight of the sinking liner.
		Which is completely possible if Californian had 18 trained sailors to lower the lifeboats from the deck and an extra 30-trained seaman to man the boats once they were in the water, then keep all the routine underway watches manned at full capacity.

		The ship then attempts to report this to the Titanic, but the overworked radioman that receives the message pays no attention and tells the Californian to ‘keep out’ of the radio traffic before she can report the location of the ice.
		This is no where more apparent than in the scene where, as the ship is sinking, some steerage passengers are told to find another way to the boat deck because they can not go through the first-class hallway.
		The Carpathia, a ship about three hours away from the Titanic, receives her distress call and is on the way for help.

		Californian comes to rest with her bows pointed northeast and her starboard beam facing the southeast.
		Third Officer Groves sights the mystery ship approaching from the east "a little bit abaft our starboard beam." Captain Lord confirms that the ship is approaching from the east; he also sees her green starboard sidelight.
		If this were actually true, the mystery ship would have had to steam right through the icefield in order to reach the spot where Groves saw her stop and "put out her lights," and where Stone and Gibson saw her lying stationary when they came on watch at midnight.

		The ship was supplied with white flares rather than red flares, which proved to be a handicap on its maiden voyage when it struck an iceberg and required emergency assistance.
		The Californian observed the flares but did not understand their intentions because they were the wrong color, therefore they did not take action to assist the Titanic.
		The Californian had stopped for the night as it had entered an ice field and the captain, who did not have experience driving through ice fields, wanted to wait for daylight to continue his ship's voyage.

		Following is “The Captain of the Californian Defends Himself”, a piece by the ship’s captain, Stanley Lord, excerpted from Peter Padfield’s book on the subject, The Titanic and the Californian.
		In it the author describes the testing of a piece of the ship’s hull salvaged from the wreck site, which was found to be unusually brittle, even by 1912 standards.
		In this piece, the author offers up his evidence that steaming the ship forward for a brief time after the collision with the iceberg caused a weakened bulkhead to collapse with the result that the ship’s pumps could no longer keep up with the flooding.

		As the night wore on, more of his own passengers began to stir, awakened by the shuddering of the ship as her engines were pushed beyond their limits.
		From the very start, Smith ignorance of shipping and seamanship in general was very obvious (at one point he asked what an iceberg is composed of), but he proceeded with conviction nonetheless.
		His ship, Californian, was only 19 miles away from Titanic and by his own testimony and that of his crew, Captain Lord had actually seen Titanic steam up.

	The Sinking of the Titanic
		It’s common knowledge that an iceberg was involved in sending the great ship to the bottom of the sea, but Marshall’s account of how officers commanded the coal stokers to keep mum about the fire raises more questions than it answers.
		When it was repaired several hours later, the Californian sent word to the Titanic’s operator that they had to stop for the night because of ice.
		However, the Titanic operator was upset because of the interruption and told the Californian operator to shut up so he could continue to send his backlogged messages.

		Leslie Reade conducted far more extensive research on this point however, seeking the opinions of several experts, and the results indicated that contrary to the Eaton/Haas claim of conditions being "ideal" that night, for a ship ten miles away to hear the rockets as well as the steam blowing, the reverse was true.
		The Californian and the lights seen by her officers might have been ignored by S.O.S, but the light of a ship seen by Titanic could not be ignored, and there is one section of dialogue in the production on this point.
		Boxhall is shown telling Captain Smith that, "A ship's light has been spotted half a point off the port bow, or at least a light that might be a ship." Captain Smith then orders Boxhall to break out the distress rockets and fire them.

		It certainly was not the infamous mystery ship as it was on the wrong side of the ice field.
		This vessel became known as the “mystery ship” and both the American and British inquiries independently determined that the identity of this ship was the Leyland liner S.S. Californian, commanded by Stanley Lord.
		Whether or not the Californian was the notorious mystery ship has become one of the most fractious debates in the Titanic literature.

		Working with the youth of California in a demanding environment was an outstanding learning experience for myself and gave me the ability to pass on some of my love of the sea.

		With so attentive an audience, Ballard, a devoted student of Titanic lore, could not resist bringing up a controversial subject: the actions of Stanley Lord, captain of the liner Californian, who Ballard said was definitely within reach of the sinking ship and may have ignored its white distress flares.
		Lord claimed at investigations of the tragedy that the Californian was more than 19 miles north of the sinking ship.
		"The Californian was inside of ten miles, perhaps as close as four miles," Ballard insisted, "and there is no doubt it could have gone in there and rescued those people.
