Part 2/7:
The moment Titanic's distress signal reached the Carpathia's radio operator Harold Cottam, a frantic rescue operation was set into motion. Captain Arthur Rostron ordered the ship to change course at full speed toward Titanic's last known position. Initially, Captain Rostron believed they would find Titanic damaged but still afloat, only to realize as they neared that the ship would likely be gone.
The communication from Titanic became increasingly dire, indicating that lifeboats were being launched and that the ship was losing power. Ultimately, in the midst of the icy waters, the Carpathia would narrowly avoid a similar fate after receiving a warning about an iceberg.
