The Carpathia was steaming east from New York City bound for Gibraltar on the night of Sunday, 14 April 1912. Her wireless operator, Harold Cottam had missed previous messages from the RMS Titanic, being on the bridge at the time. He received messages from Cape Race stating that they had private traffic for the Titanic. He thought he would be helpful and sent a message to the Titanic stating that Cape Race had traffic for them.

In a tribute to the Titanic we should not forget the heroes who took the risk to loose their own life and ship to rescue the survivors. The crew of the Carpathia. Unfortunately just a few years later the Carpathia sunk in the Irish sea after a German U boat attack in ww1

Extremely well scrapped Neeltje, The Carpathia did so well to save the 705 in such difficult conditions. Well researched and a very fitting tribute page!

I have not done a page for this, but my husband has developed an English lecture about the Titanic story he does each year on the anniversary. Pages are beautiful reminders.
