The Cunard liner RMS Carpathia brings 705 survivors from the RMS Titanic to New York City.
In 1912, the RMS Carpathia arrived in New York carrying 705 Titanic survivors rescued at sea.
On April 18, 1912, the British passenger liner RMS Carpathia docked in New York City with survivors of the RMS Titanic disaster. After the Titanic sank on April 15, Carpathia diverted its course overnight and rescued passengers from lifeboats in freezing Atlantic waters. The ship’s crew provided blankets, food, and medical care during the journey to port. Carpathia’s arrival brought relief and shocking news of the tragedy to anxious families and the press. The event spurred an international outpouring of support and calls for maritime safety reforms. Subsequent investigations led to new lifeboat regulations, ice patrols, and improved wireless communication at sea. Carpathia’s heroic rescue remains a celebrated episode in maritime history.
