Carpathia
Historic rescue ship
Carpathia is the RMS Carpathia, the Cunard ocean liner that rescued survivors of the Titanic in 1912.
The ship arrived at the disaster site about an hour and a half after Titanic sank and picked up over 700 survivors from lifeboats.
The name has become synonymous with rescue at sea.
Carpathia was torpedoed and sunk in 1918.
