There were 3 ships which were nearby when the Titanic sunk.“Sampson” was only 7 miles away from the Titanic, but because the crew had been hunting seals illegally & didn't want to be caught, they turned away from the Titanic.This ship represents those of us who are hiding in our own sins of our own past that we can't recognize when others are truly need.“Californian” was another ship was only 14 miles away from the Titanic, but because the conditions weren't perfectly favorable and it was dark, the crew convinced themselves that nothing was really happening of importance. This ship represents those of us who choose to do nothing in the now and therefore we wait until the conditions are just perfect and often times at the expense of others.“Carpathia” was a ship was actually headed in a southern direction 58 miles away from the Titanic when they heard the distress cries over the radio. The captain of this ship prayed for divine direction, as a result of an inner voice he turned the ship around and went full steam ahead through the ice fields. This was the ship that saved the 705 survivors of the Titanic.Obstacles and weak reasoning to serve will always be there, but those who stand up and accept ithe inner calling of a still small voice will always find a place in the hearts to do the right thing in the perfect moment.We all should be the “Carpathians” in our lives and make the world a better place to live in.
