		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.
		Lord was assigned to the SS Barbadian as its 3rd officer.

		Groves, third officer of the "Californian," who was the officer of the first watch, it would appear that the Master was not actually on the bridge when the steamer was sighted.
		The ice by which the "Californian" was surrounded was loose ice extending for a distance of not more than two or three miles in the direction of the "Titanic." The night was clear and the sea was smooth.
		When she first saw the rockets the "Californian" could have pushed through the ice to the open water without any serious risk and so have come to the assistance of the "Titanic." Had she done so she might have saved many if not all of the lives that were lost.

	RMS Titanic - .ceneus.notes
		RMS Titanic (also SS Titanic) was the largest passenger steamship in the world at the time of her launching, and her builders hoped that she would dominate the transatlantic ocean liner business.
		The Californian had stopped for the night because they were surrounded by ice, and the wireless operator had gone to bed.
		Californian's failure to come to Titanic's aid since their wireless operator was off duty at the time inspired 29 nations to ratify the Radio Act of 1912 which streamlined radio communications, especially in the event of emergencies.

		SS: I grew up really fast, being there, it was the first time I wasn't the center of things and I don't demand to be the center, but it was the first time I was the underdog and I had to really be aggressive to get attention - that was different.

	Polly (Harelkin) Verigin: Recalling the Titanic
		She was just eight years old when her family immigrated from Russia and they were aboard the SS Californian, the ship which became famous because its captain refused to believe the SS Titanic was in trouble.
		Due to heavy ice flow, the Californian had stopped for the night and was an estimated 12 to 14 miles from the Titanic.
		When the Californian resumed her course for Boston, her log for that day omitted any mention of the rockets seen during the night; nevertheless, Lord privately asked Stone and Gibson to write up separate affidavits describing what they had seen and reported to him.

	Titanic & Californian
		The Californian arrived alongside her at about 7.30 and semaphore signals were exchanged from which it was learned that the Titanic had struck an iceberg at 11.40 the previous night and sunk two and a half hours later.
		The Californian now made one complete turn to starboard followed by one to port and then resumed her passage to Boston passing the Canadian Pacific steamship Mount Temple, and another steamship of unknown nationality.
		She was approaching the Californian obliquely, and when she stopped she put her helm hard over and thus foreshortened her perspective thereby giving the appearance of the extinction of her lights.

		Captain Lord of the SS Californian, which was called on for help, is sometimes accused of not responding quickly enough.
		The 711 people who did survive the disaster in lifeboats, were picked up by the Cunard Steamship Lines, RMS Carpathia, commanded by Captain Arthur Henry Rostron who was acclaimed for his immediate and decisive action in coming to the aid of the Titanic.
		The disaster was a shock to the international community because it proved to some people that man and his technological achievements were inferior to the powers of nature.

		Third Officer Groves of the Californian noticed the Tramp too at about 7.00am, ahead of him at this time and a little on his port bow, but could make out no details because the other ship was head-on to him.
		If the Californian was only ten miles north of the Titanic, it meant that the distance between the two ships would be about 17 miles - theoretically, within viewing distance of each other; however, the lights would be right on the edge of the visible horizon.
		If we assume that the red light came from the Californian, and that the Californian-Carpathia distance was barely sufficient for the two ships to see eather, then we have the Californian being roughly 7 miles from Boxhall, at a bearing of approximately N60E.

		Was the Californian passed by the Titanic, her course being the same as the Titanic's course was originally?
		The only way I can account for this, we were stopped in the ocean, and it is not natural for a ship to keep her head all the time.

		The inquires found that the Californian was closer to the Titanic than the 19 ½ miles (31 km) that Captain Lord had figured and that Lord should have awaken the wireless operator after the rockets were first reported to him.

		The Californian crew and captain had reversed engines and parked as a precautionary measure, halted in their course by an immense field of oceanic ice.
		That unscheduled stop in the middle of the sea provided the Californian a ringside seat for the drama, the sinking of the Titanic.

		For those not up on the Titanic story, this was a ship that passed quite close to the Titanic while it was sinking, but which never realized that the Titanic was in danger.
		They knew it was the Titanic, and assumed the crew was just shooting off fireworks to entertain their luxury minded passengers.
		To me, the Californian is a key part of the Titanic story, demonstrating how everything that can go wrong sometimes does, and leaving it out of what will undoubtedly become the standard version of the story seems wrong to me. But that's just a minor rant.

		Q: In a similar vein on spotting the light on the horizon (the Californian) I would have thought that setting out for it in one of the lifeboats manned by as many beefy rowers as they could cram into it might have been a good way to get its attention.
		A: SS Californian was anywhere from ten to fifteen miles from RMS Titanic on the night of the sinking.
		This would mean, roughly, two and a half to four hours for even a beefy lifeboat crew to reach Californian, even if Californian had been close to Titanic, and even if the boat crew had the strength and endurance to pull at maximum speed for the entire time.
