Up until 1912, he was an unknown person apart from in nautical circles and was a British sailor that had served in the British Merchant Navy and the Royal Naval Reserve for many years. However, his name is now part of the grand legacy of the Titanic story. The Titanic needs no introduction, it is possibly the most known single word used that can bring up memories of the sinking of the ship for the relatives, it will reveal a story that is still known and discussed to this day. And yet, Captain Rostron had no connections with the ship, or the White Star Line before 1912. On the night of 14th/15th April 1912, because of his selfless actions, he would be best remembered as the Captain of the RMS Carpathia who rescued many hundreds of people from the sinking of the RMS Titanic, after it collided with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. Image Copyright 9gag.com Rostron was born in Bolton on the 14th May 1869 in the town of Bolton. His birthplace was at Bank Cottage, Sharples to parents James and Nancy Rostron.

  • It's a CQD Old Man 41.46 North, 50.14 West
    Page 1 of 34 It’s A CQD Old Man 41.46 North, 50.14 West By Samuel W. Halpern Note to the reader: This paper is a revised work of my original two-part article, “A Minute of Time,” first published in 2005 in the Titanic Historical Society’s Titanic Commutator.1 The article deals with the issue of the two CQD distress positions transmitted from Titanic by wireless on the night of the disaster. Items written in quotations between brackets […] are insertions by this author. In the footnotes of this article, the notation AI are references to page numbers in the transcripts of the American Inquiry into the loss of Titanic, while the notation BI are references to question numbers in the transcripts of the British Inquiry into the loss of Titanic. - SWH FOREWORD The author of this article has deftly drawn together the existing data and testimony to elegantly tie up the loose ends in this century old mystery of why the two CQD positions were so far west of the wreck site. As is still the case today, maritime disasters large and small are usually the result of a series of small missteps and oversights. In so thoroughly examining this portion of the Titanic story the author has outlined an entirely plausible error chain. That a misreading of the navigation watch and an easily made error in addition could contribute so much to the drama of April 14, 1912 is an important reminder to mariners today. Captain Peg Brandon Assistant Professor of Marine Transportation Maine Maritime Academy Castine, ME 04220, USA INTRODUCTION On the night of April 14, 1912 at 10:35 p.m., New York time, Carpathia’s wireless operator Harold Cottam decided to pick up his headphones to call up Titanic’s senior wireless operator Jack Phillips to tell him that there were messages waiting for him to pick up from Cape Cod.

  • The Great Disasters Podcast Is Written, Researched and Produced by Kari Fay
    The Sinking of the Titanic (Part One) It's a cold, moonless night with calm seas. Below decks, hundreds of passengers have settled in for the night, or are burning the midnight oil and making the most of the ship’s luxurious amenities. Above them all, the lookouts in the crow’s nest strain their eyes against the freezing air, gazing into a far-reaching darkness which makes it difficult even to make out the horizon. Suddenly, something looms out of the gloom. The lookout rings the bridge, his voice urgent. “Iceberg, right ahead!” I'm Kari Fay, and this is Great Disasters. It would be hard to produce a podcast called Great Disasters and not talk about the Titanic; that’s why I’m making it the subject of a two part special. It's one of the best known tragedies in history, boosted by countless films and documentaries on the subject. Even though it happened over a hundred years ago, and even the last survivors have now passed on, it's a name with instant recognition. It seems like a tale crafted to be memorable; the ship everybody knew to be unsinkable, sunk in just a few hours on her maiden voyage with the loss of many on board, from the poorest to the richest. However, not everything you've heard about the Titanic is necessarily true. Firstly, let's address that “unsinkable” thing. Was the Titanic really designed to be unsinkable? Well, yeah, in as much as no ship designer ever designed a ship to sink; but just like any designer they were working with certain limitations; the technology of the day, the time, money and materials available, and all those other practical considerations.

  • Those Who Have Been Saved from Titanic Disaster Have Been Saved Through Mr. Marconi and His Invention
    Those who have been saved from Titanic disaster have been saved through Mr. Marconi and his invention. Marchese Guglielmo Marconi (25 April 1874 – 20 July 1937) was an Italian inventor, best known for his development of a radiotelegraph system. Marconi began to conduct experiments, building much of his own equipment in the attic of his home at the Villa Griffone in Pontecchio, Italy. His goal was to use radio waves to create a practical system of "wireless telegraphy"—i.e. the transmission of telegraph messages without connecting wires as used by the electric telegraph. At first, Marconi could only signal over limited distances. In the summer of 1895 he moved his experimentation outdoors. After increasing the length of the transmitter and receiver antennas, and arranging them vertically, and positioning the antenna so that it touched the ground, the range increased significantly. Soon he was able to transmit signals over a hill, a distance of approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi). The experiments & investigations never ended there the rest is history………….. TITANIC The two radio operators aboard the Titanic - Jack Phillips and Harold Bride - were not employed by the White Star Line but by the Marconi International Marine Communication Company. Following the sinking of the ocean liner, survivors were rescued by the Carpathia of the Cunard Line. Carpathia was sailing from New York City to Rijeka on the night of Sunday, 14 April 1912. Among her passengers were renowned American painters Colin Campbell Cooper and his wife Emma, journalist Lewis P. Skidmore, photographer Dr. Francis H. Blackmarr and Charles H.
