At the time, probably nothing. At best they could have sent out life jackets or something similar, though I don't know how much they weighed at the time.
But if that happened today, we could minimally start getting inflatable lifeboats out to the people, supplementing afterwards with blankets for heat, life preservers, food, and so on. If you kept some on the ship in a slightly similar tragedy, the drones could offship as the sinking is happening and then immediately deliver goods to survivors. This last option seems more useful.

They're not for long term use, but it would have kept people out of the water until proper rescue boats arrived. Obviously these didn't exist back in 1912, but then again, neither did these drones.
