I knew from history she sent warnings to but didn't know about the other stuff...

from wikipedia ...On 23 January 1909 (commanded by J.B. Ranson) she rescued survivors of the collision in fog between the White Star Line's RMS Republic and the SS Florida off the north eastern coast of the U.S., after which Republic sank.

In April 1912 the Baltic sent ice warnings to the RMS Titanic before that ship sank.

She was also involved in a rescue on 6 December 1929, when she assisted the sinking schooner Northern Light.

although he did a voyage on her in 1929 he wasn't on board for the Northern Light rescue.

thanks for that Julie I hadn't got around to looking into the ships he served on too much yet as I'm still getting over the surprise of family I didn't know I had.
