Call for help
• The ship carried lifeboats for only 1,178 people. A number of men died due to the "women and children first". This meant that many boats were only half filled. Further, only a few were picked up from the water. • Wireless operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride began sending help signal , which was received by several ships, including Mount Temple, Frankfurt, Virginian and Titanics sister ship, Olympic, but none of the vessels were close enough to reach the liner before she sank. In the end it was the Carpathia which came to the rescue and picked up the survivors from the lifeboats in four hours — too late to rescue all of Titanics passengers.
