 Yet, controversy still remains concerning "Mount Temple"s position at the time of her receiving the distress call from "Titanic", how far she was from "Titanic" when she stopped and Moore's decision to stop and never even attempt to cross the ice field.Rumors that "Mount Temple" under Moore ignored "Titanic"s distress rockets abounded at the time and persist to this day.It is said that "Mount Temple" was the "mystery ship" seen by officers and passengers aboard the "Titanic" five to ten miles away, rather than the "SS Californian" as implied by Lord Mersey and the British Board of Trade at the British Inquiry.
