This is a rare view of the Cunard Liner Carpathia, seen docked at Liverpool in early 1913, following her annual overhaul. This was the ship’s first return to her home port following her rescue of Titanic passengers and crew from the Atlantic in April 1912. The action she took that night may very w

The aging Ile De France is seen returning to New York with 753 survivors from the sunken Italian Liner Andrea Doria, on the morning of July 26th, 1956. The great French Liner was less than two years away from her own, well-earned retirement.

This is another view of the Carpathia leaving New York on the afternoon of April 19, 1912. Considering that the ship had a beautiful sounding name, it seems odd that Cunard has never used the name again for another ship. Perhaps they felt her name should be permanently retired, out of respect.

This beautiful portside bow view shows the fine lines of the famous rescue ship; the Carpathia would come be known as Cunard’s Samaritan Ship following her rescue of Titanic survivors on April 15, 1912.

Cunard’s Carpathia is seen on the stocks at the Swan Hunter Shipyard at Wallsend-on-Tyne just prior to her launch date, which was August 6th, 1902. The cargo liner’s fitting out would be completed by April of the following year.

Carpathia is seen during her historic rescue of survivors from the Titanic disaster, on the morning of April 15, 1912.

Carpathia departs New York Harbor at 4PM on the afternoon of 19 April, 1912.

Carpathia rests at her New York pier (54) on the morning of April 19, 1912. Her Captain, Arthur H. Rostron, as well as her wireless operator, Harold Cottom, would both be away from the ship on this day, so they could give testimony at the US Senate Inquiry being held for the loss of the Titanic. D
