Wreck of Carpathia

[Jan C. Nielsen]

Although it's not exactly "news," the Carpathia has purportedly been found. The BBC reported that it was located, on Sept. 5, 1999, "185 miles off Land's End," the "Cornish Coast." The ship is, like Titanic, settled in an upright position. It was sunk in WWI by a submarine. Does anyone have any more recent news about the wreck?

The source given by Henning is the same material as originally appeared on the BBC. I believe it came from Reuters. I had a good look for more information without success. I seem to remember from our local paper that the finder, Graham Jessop, was keeping quiet about it with a view to later commercial exploitation.

I know it's been a while since there was any post on this subject, but I happened to visit a website a couple of weeks ago that gave the Carpathia's resting place. Sorry, but I can't recall which website it was.
Her position is stated as 49 degrees 24.769 minutes north, 10 degrees 46.7 minutes west.
