Crew during Titanic resue and Carpathia's own sinking

[Iain Stuart Yardley]

Afternoon all,

Were there any crew members who were engaged aboard Carpathia during the rescue of the Titanic survivors and at the time of Carpathia's own sinking during a torpedo attack? I am trying to establish which crew members, indeed if any, were still working aboard Carpathia between the two incidents. Your insight would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Boz

Her agreements are all held out at the PRO, Boz - you might find that a good place to start looking if no one can answer your question here.

Cheers mate. Any idea if they are open over the week between Christmas and New Year? I'll be spending most of that time down there and so I can do a bit of hunting round.

 

[Inger Sheil]

Should be open for at least the Monday - Weds before NY's...the website (www.pro.gov.uk) is the place to check, but according to what they have up on site these are their closure dates over the holiday period:

Christmas: Wednesday 24th December to Saturday 27th December*
New Year's Day 2004: Thursday 1st January.

That's great! Will fit in just nicely with my plans. I'll buy you a Corona tomorrow!

Cheers,

Boz

Cheers, Boz! A Corona will slip down nicely with the Tequila, Margaritas and lashings of salsa.
