3 notes i love to look thru my tags i used to have a firm no follow for no taggers but tumblr isn t really active enough for that behavior anymore about me soundoftheirwings got to the classic hms surprise passage 1 day ago with 35 notes aubreyad i feel so bad for every animal i these books but this made me laugh 01010101010101010111 deactivate asked please make a post about the story of the rms carpathia because it s something that s almost beyond belief and more people should know about it answer petermorwood mother entropy deadcatwithaflamethrower duckbunny armoured escort becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys girlwithakiwi thejollywriter mylordshesacactus carpathia received titanic s distress signal at 12 20am april 15th 1912 she was 58 miles away a distance that absolutely could not be covered in less than four hours californian s exact position at the time is controversial she was close enough to have helped by all accounts she was close enough to see titanic s distress rockets it s uncertain to this day why her crew did not respond or how many might not have been lost if she had been there this is not the place for what ifs this is about what was done carpathia s captain rostron had yes rolled out of bed instantly when woken by his radio operator ordered his ship to titanic s aid and confirmed the signal before he was fully dressed the man had never in his life responded to an emergency call his goal tonight was to make sure nobody who heard that fact would ever believe it all of carpathia s lifeboats were swung out ready for deployment oil was set up to be poured off the side of the ship in case the sea turned choppy oil would coat and calm the water near carpathia if that happened making it safer for lifeboats to draw up alongside her he ordered lights to be rigged along the side of the ship so survivors could see it better and had nets and ladders rigged along her sides ready to be dropped when they arrived in order to let as many survivors as possible climb aboard at once i don t know if his making provisions for there still being survivors in the water was optimism or not i think he knew they were never going to get there in time for that i think he did it anyway because god you have to hope carpathia had three dining rooms which were immediately converted into triage and first aid stations each had a doctor assigned to it hot soup coffee and tea were prepared in bulk in each dining room and blankets and warm clothes were collected to be ready to hand out by this time many of the passengers were awake prepping a ship for disaster relief isn t quiet and all of them stepped up to help many donating their own clothes and blankets and then he did something i tend to refer to as diverting all power from life support here s the thing about steamships they run on steam shocking i know but that steam powers everything on the ship and right now carpathia needed power so rostron turned off hot water and central heating which bled valuable steam power to everywhere but the dining rooms which of course were being used to make hot drinks and receive survivors he woke up all the engineers all the stokers and firemen diverted all that steam back into the engines and asked his ship to go as fast as she possibly could and when she d done that he asked her to go faster i need you to understand that you simply can t push a ship very far past its top speed pushing that much sheer tonnage through the water becomes harder with each extra knot past the speed it was designed for pushing a ship past its rated speed is not only reckless it s difficult to maneuver but it puts an incredible amount of strain on the engines ships are not designed to exceed their top speed by even one knot they can t do it it can t be done carpathia s absolute do or die the engines can t take this forever top speed was fourteen knots dodging icebergs in the dark and the cold surrounded by mist she sustained a speed of almost seventeen and a half no one would have asked this of them it wasn t expected they were almost sixty miles away with icebergs in their path they had a respondibility to respond they did not have a responsibility to do the impossible and do it well no one would have faulted them for taking more time to confirm the severity of the issue no one would have blamed them for a slow and cautious approach no one but themselves they damn near broke the laws of physics galloping north headlong into the dark in the desperate hope that if they could shave an hour half an hour five minutes off their arrival time maybe for one more person those five minutes would make the difference i say three people had died by the time they were lifted from the lifeboats for all we know in another hour it might have been more i say they made all the difference in the world this ship and her crew received a message from a location they could not hope to reach in under four hours just barely over three hours later they arrived at titanic s last known coordinates half an hour after that at 4am they would finally find the first of the lifeboats it would take until 8 30 in the morning for the last survivor to be brought onboard passengers from carpathia universally gave up their berths staterooms and clothing to the survivors assisting the crew at every turn and sitting with the sobbing rescuees to offer whatever comfort they could in total 705 people of titanic s original 2208 were brought onto carpathia alive no other ship would find survivors at 12 20am april 15th 1912 there was a miracle on the north atlantic and it happened because a group of humans some of them strangers many of them only passengers on a small and unimpressive steam liner looked at each other and decided i cannot live with myself if i do anything less i think the least we can do is remember them for it wow okay i m crying now and even as he watched the rescue unfolding that morning he would have understood that for the living everything which could have been done had been done not a single survivor was lost or injured being brought aboard the carpathia for those who had gone down with the titanic save for reverencing their memory at the service later that day there was nothing more that he or anyone could do rostron s duty now was as he always saw it to the living i looked up a bit about this because the post is so movingly written that when i read it aloud to my husband and mother they both wept like babies and something else really struck me about this story so carpathia was not a top end luxury liner her reputation was for being jolly comfortable she was very broad in her proportions and not super duper fast and the result was that she didn t rock so much on the waves and you couldn t particularly hear feel the engines she was solid and dependable and lots of people liked using her but she therefore occupied a lesser niche than titanic or olympian or whatever and crucially as a result of that she only had one radio operator on board this means she only had radio ops for a certain window in the day unlike titanic which had 24 hour radio ops so on that night when titanic went down carpathia s wireless operator one harold cottam clocked off his shift at midnight and went to bed while he was getting ready for bed though he left the transmitter on for the hell of it and therefore picked up a transmission from cape race in newfoundland the closest transmitting tower sending messages to the ships they told him that they had a backlog of private traffic for titanic that wasn t getting through so even though his shift was over and it was now 11 minutes past bloody midnight and he just wanted to go to bed harold cottam decided that nonetheless he d be helpful and let the titanic know they had messages waiting and that s how he received the titanic s distress signal in spite of no longer being on shift to receive it and therefore in order to send carpathia galloping to titanic s rescue and thus saving 705 people all because harold cottam decided one night to be kind i dunno that s just really stuck with me cottam also ended up staying awake for something like 48 hours straight trying to send survivors messages and a list of survivors home but due to carpathia s limited radio frequency range and with no other ships to act as a relay this was rather patchy however he tried his damn best to make sure the survivor s messages got home and was also bombarded with incoming messages of bribes to spill the details of the disaster to the press rostrum had ordered that no messages to the press be sent out of respect to the survivors for they would have their privacy destroyed as soon as they reached new york cottam respected this order even under extreme duress of fatigue stress and the knowledge that in some cases the bribes were almost three times his annual salary he eventually went to bed but not before working with one of the rescued titanic s radio operators harold bride to transmit as many messages as possible bride was injured his feet had been crushed in a lifeboat and had just passed the body of the second of titanic s radio operators aboard jack phillips so neither of them were really in the best shape to keep working but they did in the face of extreme adversity both men refused to do anything but their duty and exceeding their duty not just because rostrum had ordered it but because it was the right thing to do they could have profited considerably from the disaster and they refused for the dignity of the survivors this is hopepunk this is what we can be what we are when instinct takes over this is what we are when we choose to care about each other we re not profit machines or units of production or lone fierce wolves in a bitter wilderness we are people and we care about people this is human nature don t give up on it hopepunk is best punk this always leaves me sobbing fuck i wrote a post a couple of years ago wondering why there hadn t been a documentary or docu drama about the carpathia rescue run there are probably sound reasons why not one of which is probably that getting yet another titanic project greenlit is far easier name recognition pre sold property multiple conspiracy theories to play with all discredited but when did that stop the history channel here are a couple of stories about carpathia as mylordshesacactus has already said her boilers and engines were rated for no more than 14 knots and when she managed 17 5 for the only time in her life it s said i hate the phrase but i have to use it that the chief engineer hung his hat over the main pressure gauge so no one including himself could see how far its needle was into the red captain rostron a religious man was seen on several occasions standing privately on the exposed bridge wing with his own hat raised and his mouth moving in silent prayer and when daylight revealed the extent of the ice field his ship had passed without harm he only said there must have been another hand on the wheel than mine there s another problem of sorts about a screenplay set aboard carpathia an astonishing lack of that easy dramatic tool conflict captain rostron decided he was going to the titanic s assistance and that was that afaik not a single passenger or crewman not one questioned the wisdom of his decision either then or afterwards even when carpathia headed at more than full speed in the dark through dangerous waters where an iceberg had apparently just sunk an unsinkable ship it s easier to write and sell a story about pride arrogance stupidity rich against poor and lives lost through hubris than it is to write one about people who rallied round and did the right thing at the right time not for reward but because it was the right thing to do here s rostron and his officers the carpathia stewards and cabin crew some of her passengers and some of the people they helped 2 days ago with 289700 notes rms carpathia i m crying fr damn titanic long post i ll be done with post captain tonight and then i can immediately start hms surprise desperately in need of like an aubreyad discord i can shout my feelings into as i have them instead of trying to post them here 4 days ago with 18 notes i don t really need another discord server i just need my best friend to read these damn books aubreyad not me actually rolling my eyes and saying oh my god out loud and sophie not waffling about going to jack on the ship leona florianova at the breakfast table with a fine view of the narrows and the now silent elsinore stephen said so you were ophelia in your youth captain aubrey a part of ophelia but in this case the part was greater than the whole i was called back three times and the other fellows were not called back at all even the one that was drowned in a green dress with sprigs three times upon my honour how did the poor young lady come to be divided up why there was only one midshipman in the flagship pretty enough for a girl but his voice was broke and he could not keep in tune neither so for the part where she has to sing i put on the dress and piped up with my back to the audience but neither of us was going to be drowned and buried in real earth admiral or no admiral so that part fell to a youngster who could not defend himself and that made three of us do you see jack smiled his mind going back to the west indies where the performance had taken place and after a while he sang young men will do t an they come to t by cock they are t o blame yes alas and it all ended unhappy as i recall so it did too said stephen the pity of the world the surgeon s mate 6 days ago with 183 notes aubreyad the surgeons mate hamlet incredible shiexoo my contribution for taash s
