Beschreibung

The Carpathia was on its regular voyage to New York City, when early on 15 April 1912 it received a distress signal from the White Star Line ocean liner Titanic, which had struck an iceberg and was sinking. Rostron was asleep when his wireless operator, Harold Cottam, inadvertently left his headset on while undressing for bed and so heard the signal. Cottam alerted Rostron's who immediately ordered the ship to race towards the Titanic, posting extra lookouts to help spot and maneuver around the ice he knew to be in the area. Even so, Carpathia, took about 3 hours to reach the Titanic's radioed position. During this time Rostron turned off heating to ensure the maximum amount of steam for the ship's engines and had the ship prepared for the survivors, ordering his medical crew to stand by to receive those possibly injured.

Über den Autor

Arthur Rostron spent an eventful life at sea, captaining a number of ocean liners and Royal naval vessels including the Aulania which, with Rostron at the helm, saw action at Galliploi in 1915. Titanic survivors, including Margaret Brown, presented Rostron with a silver cup and gold medal for his efforts the night Titanic sank. He was also awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the Thanks of Congress, the American Cross of Honor, a medal from the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Society and a gold medal from the Shipwreck Society of New York. He retired from the sea in 1931 and died in 1940.
