Final answer:
Yes, there was another ship nearby that saw the Titanic's distress flares but did nothing.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that another ship ten miles away, on the opposite side of the ice field, saw the Titanic's distress flares but did nothing is true.
There were actually two nearby ships that saw the distress flares from the Titanic but did not take any action to assist. These ships were the SS Californian and the SS Mount Temple. The SS Californian was less than 20 miles away and its crew saw the distress rockets but did not respond, thinking they were simply company signals. The SS Mount Temple was about 30 miles away and also saw the flares but did not attempt a rescue either.
Both of these ships have been the subject of criticism for their failure to respond to the distress signals from the sinking Titanic.
