Description: CAPTAIN ARTHUR HENRY ROSTRON, CARPATHIA-- HERO, HUMBLE, & A MAN OF ACTION WHO SAVED OVER 700 LIVES AT RISK TO HIMSELF & HIS SHIP. On the night of the 14th April, Captain Rostron himself was in his cabin, so when Harold Cottam, Carpathia’s radio officer, first got Titanic’s distress call, Cottam dashed onto the bridge to find First Officer H. Dean. He told Dean about the Titanic’s call for help, who to Dean’s credit didn’t check out Cottam’s story first. He led Cottam to the Captain’s cabin, and burst in, telling Rostron the dreadful news. Rostron asked Cottam directly if he was sure it was the Titanic in distress, to which Cottam confirmed it was.Rostron then did something which is often overlooked by many books and films; he ordered Carpathia’s new course before checking that what Cottam was telling him was indeed fact, and not a garbled message of some sort, which was quite possible in those days of early communications, then he worked out the relative positions of both ships and set a more accurate course. Captain Rostron then began to prepare his vessel for the hours ahead, and the extent of the planning reads like a manual on the subject of rescuing passengers at sea.ROSTRON'S RESCUE ORDERS: Order all off-duty crew to be summoned.Chief Engineer to get as much speed as was possible out of ship.Turn off steam heating to free up all available steam for more speed.Prepare and swing out all lifeboats.Setup electric lights alongside ship’s hull.Open all gangway doors.Setup a block and tackle hoist at each gangway door.Setup chair slings for injured.Setup canvas bags on hoists to bring aboard children.Drop all pilot ladders and side ladders.Rig cargo nets at suitable points on ship’s hull.Prepare forward steam hoists for bringing mail and luggage aboard.Have thick oil ready to poor down lavatories in the event of rough seas.Collect all stimulants and medication.Setup first aid stations in each respective dining room.Allocate people to collect names of survivors as they come aboard.Ensure passengers are sent to 1st, 2nd or 3rd class dining room for medical check.Allow every crewman to have a hot coffee for the long night ahead.Have soup, coffee, tea, brandy and brandy ready for survivors.Convert larger public rooms into dormitories.Blankets and pillows to be collected from every available place.Group all of Carparthia’s steerage passengers together to make room for Titanic’s.Keep Carpathia’s passengers in the dark so as to avoid panic.
