[QUOTE="Neil (2468), post: 422633, member: 173539"] The colour the rockets is immaterial.Here are the standards regarding distress signals in 1912:(3.) Rockets or shells, throwing stars of any color or description, fired one at a time at short intervals. (4.) A continuous sounding with any fog-signal apparatus.The Titanic fired rockets one at a time at short intervals - complying with the distress signals.At the very least Lord's could have taken more steps to investigate - if only waking the wireless operator to check the signals.Whether the vessel was or was not the Titanic is less relevant than whether the vessel was in distress.
