History with Kelly: Carpathia
|
Carpathia The RMS Carpathia, launched on August 6th, 1912, was the ship that answered the Titanic's cries for help on that terrible night in 1912. The ship was built by Swan and Hunters, and serviced by the Cunard Line. The Carpathia was 13, 555 gross tons and measured 164.58 x 19.65 meters in height. Her max speed was 14 knots. The Carpathia was a pretty nice ship, with good accommodations in even Third Class. The Third Class was also nice because of its size. The Carpathia's maiden voyage was from Liverpool to New York to Queenstown on May 5, 1903. She continued on this run until winter time, then she had a winter run from Trieste to Fiume. May, of 1904, the Carpathia returned to running from Liverpool to New York. She also continued her winter run. In 1905, she was redone, she could now hold 100 1st class, 200 2nd, and 2,250 3rd. In 1909, she ran her winter run year round, and only returned to Liverpool once a year for maintenance. April 11th, 1912, the Carpathia was en route to New York. April 14, 1912, the Carpathia saw the distress signals coming from the Titanic, the wireless also received a message just before he shut down for the night. He had to wake up the captain for someone to take the message seriously. The Carpathia got to the site at 3:30-4:00 AM and at first they didn't see anything. Then, they spotted a small number of lifeboats holding 703 survivors. They reached a shocked New York on the 18th. The Carpathia went back to service, and was torpedoed on July 17, 1918. Five men died. |
