I have seen the debates over and over about if the ship was Californian or Mount Temple or Samson, but here is my theory. Instead of one ship, why not all three? OK, yes I know the passengers and crew on the Titanic saw one bright light and do believe it could have been any of these three ships, but maybe the two other ships saw the Titanic and they just had all their lights turned out or the people on the Titanic simply did not see any other lights. It seems perfectly natural for the Californian to have all her lights out because she had stopped for the night, so that gives one ship having her lights out and maybe the Samson was in the same condition and thus the Mount Temple was the one with the lights on that made the failed attempt to try to get to Titanic.
With all that aside, I know this may should belong in the rockets folder, but I would also like to ask if there was a such thing as firing rockets for partying? Also if white rockets, just as any color, meant distress then maybe all these ships and their captains are responsible for not taking initiative.
