The Heroic Captain Who Rescued 705 Souls

Margaret ‘Molly’ Brown recognized Captain Arthur Rostron of the Carpathia with a trophy for his bravery during the Titanic disaster. The Carpathia, a symbol of hope, raced to rescue Titanic survivors, even as distress signals echoed till the radio operator’s final breath.

Navigating 3.5 hours upon receiving a distress signal, the Carpathia heroically saved approximately 700 people from freezing waters, only to find the Titanic sunk and 1,500 lives lost. Their prompt action distinguished a grim night of tragedy with a glimmer of hope.
