SS Californian

The SS Californian was a British merchant ship that operated in the early 20th century. It is most known for its proximity to the Titanic during the night of April 14, 1912. The Californian was nearby but did not respond effectively to Titanic's distress signals, and many believe it could have helped save some passengers. The incident raised questions about communication and rescue protocols at sea. The Californian's involvement remains a significant, debated part of maritime history, illustrating the importance of proper alarms and international safety standards in shipping.
