Without the swift and courageous actions of the crew of S.S. Carpathia, the devastation caused by Titanic's sinking might have been far worse. The little Cunarder arrived on the scene scarely more than two hours after the Titanic's stern disappeared. Carpathia rescued 705 Titanic survivors and delivered them to New York.

Carpathia went on to serve England in World War I and was sunk by a German U-boat in July 1918. Five people were killed. The wreck of Carpathiawas discovered in 1999. Diveres reached the wreck and brought back small artifacts.
