| RMS Carpathia in New York, following the Rescue (pd) |
It was another momentous day in the tragic saga of the Titanic. It was the day that those who had survived the horrific events of the night of April 14-15 finally set foot on land again.
It was due to the heroic efforts of Arthur H. Rostron, Captain of the Carpathia, and the crew of the Cunard liner, that the souls who had been helplessly adrift in lifeboats in the icy North Atlantic survived at all. Reaching the site of the sinking in record time had taken quite an effort, with the ship being pushed to sail beyond her rated speed.
The story of the remarkable voyage of mercy by the RMS Carpathia is well worth reading. You can do so by following the above link - or this one.
