Arthur Rostron

Responding to Titanic's distress calls in the early hours of 15 April 1912, Captain Arthur Rostron raced the Cunard liner Carpathia to the scene of the sinking, rescued seven hundred survivors, and then carried them to safety to New York. The heroism and compassion shown to the survivors and tales from the eye-witnesses is all here from official records and first person accounts in this experienced commander’s memoirs.
