the californian didnt go to help because they thought that these were party rockets, not help rockets. they thought that they should try and make contact with the ship but they didnt wake their radio person. i agree with the underway thing. |

The party rock can be a pluasible explanation because, they did see it: according to the accounts.
But it is a hughe mistake that they made such a mistake, so i assume that nobody really wanted to talk about the fact they they mis interpreted the rockets as party rockets, i think the least they'll get is fired from the company they work for.. |

how can you mix party rockets with help rockets?

I'm not sure and I don't know what the standard was (if there was one, a lot of the current standards were created because of Titanic) for signal rockets. I assume they were color coded like red for distress. I recall reading in one of the accounts though that the crewman firing the rockets used the entire stock not just the ones for distress so that may have added to the impression. I must admit I find the Californian crew's reaction puzzling, I'd think in the same position I'd be curious enough to fire up the wireless just in case. But attitudes were considerably different back then and the capability of the human mind to rationalize away things it doesn't want to deal with is considerable. |

as far as i know, titanic used white rockets. but still, the californian crew shouldve turned on the radio and tried to make contact with the ship, just in case.

This could be wrong but many people have told me that white rockets meant "Get out of the way or be aware of me".

i've read that the other ship "thought that they were just having fun", because they were party rockets, the crew said.
