The Carpathia's Captain Rostron's Preparations for Receiving the Titanic Survivors:

When day broke, I saw the ice I had steamed through during the night.  I shruddered, and could only think that some other hand than mine was on that helm during the night.

                                   - Capt. Aurther Rostron of the Carpathia

 

R.M.S. Titanic was fifty-eight miles tot he northwest of the Carpathia, and Carpathia's maximum speed was about 14 knots.  Captain Rostron estimated that he could make the trip in about four hours, but ended up making it in only three and a half, traveling at an atonishing 17 and 1/2 knots- a speed that the Carpathia would never agin achieve. 

During the United States Senate hearing into the Titanic disaster, Captain Rostron was asked to writ out the orders he gave to prepare for Titanic's survivors.

The following list is what Captain Rostron detailed for the senate sudcommite:

  1. English doctor, with assistants, to rmain in first-class dining room.
  2. Italian doctor, with assistants, to remain in second-class dining room.
  3. Hungarian doctor, with assistants, to remain in third-class dining room.
  4. Each doctor to have supplies of restoratives, stimulants, and everything to hand for immediate needs of probable wounded or sick.
  5. Purser, with assistant purser and cheif steward, to receive the passengers, etc., at different gangways, controlling our own tewards in assisting Titanic passengers to the dining rooms, etc.; also to get Christian and surnames of al survivors as soon s possible to send by wireless.
