Gustav J. Rath (or Gusztáv Ráth) is listed as a Supernumerary Hungarian Officer. In some articles he is mentioned as being the Carpathia's fifth officer.
Second Officer James Bisset identified him as Supernumerary Officer Roth.
It was reported that his gold Carpathia rescuers medal was sold by Sotheby's New York on 29 July 1997 for $55,000. His discharge book was also sold, which revealed that he only served on the Carpathia for two voyages.

So when I was looking at some photos of the Carpathia crew, I saw a man listed as Hungarian Supernumerary Officer right here, I saw that on Second Officer Bissets book, he listed the man as "Hungarian Supernumerary Officer Gunter Roth", I can't find nothing on the person so can anyone help me find out more about this person (if he existed).
