The Story of the RMS Titanic - Part 11

April 15th 8:30am, for the past four hours, Carpathia has been recovering Titanic's lifeboats. The final lifeboat has been picked up and Carpathia makes a final search of the area, finding nothing other than wreckage and one body. The women aboard still don't fully realise that they are widows. They believe that their husbands are on another ship or are still in the sea alive.

The S.S. Californian sails in from the north. Wireless Operator Evans has just recently turned on his Wireless to learn of Titanic's sinking. Captain Stanley Lord recalls of the reports his crew gave him of 8 rockets fired in the distance. He has never publicly admitted, but he surely can't deny now that the ship 10 miles away from him was indeed the Titanic.

At 8:50am, The Carpathia makes preparations to return to New York. As they make their way, an iceberg is spotted with a mark of red paint along the base.

Prayers are held in the lounges for the survivors while Carpathia heads for New York.
