Safety in the RMS Carpathia
The gallant RMS Carpathia, which rushed to the aid of the sinking RMS Titanic, played a key role in saving lives within two hours of the disaster. Some of the 710 individuals saved were among the fortunate passengers depicted above, who were given warm coats and blankets to keep them warm in the frigid weather. Unfortunately, the Carpathia was lost at sea in 1918 when the German submarine SM U-55 attacked and sank the ship. Despite the disaster, the brave crew members saved all but five of their companions, displaying incredible bravery and generosity.

The Rescued Brothers
The RMS Titanic’s sinking in 1912 is a chilling reminder of the tragedy that devastated families when many died. Two brothers, Edmond and Michel Navratil, survived the sinking after losing their father in the catastrophe. The brothers sought refuge in New York City before their mother recognized them in a newspaper photograph, which is an intriguing fact about them. The sinking of the Titanic triggered dramatic changes in maritime safety rules, including the mandated provision of lifeboats for all passengers. Despite this, the Navratil brothers’ tale stresses the personal ramifications of this historic event, which are still felt today.
