The Carpathia’s Captain was truly awesome that night. When he heard what was going on… I’ll let Wikipedia detail the events.

He went 25% over the Top Speed of the Carpathia to get there. He probably damaged the engines of that small liner to haul ass there. Definitely the best person involved in the disaster.

Not so sure about that. 2nd Officer Lightoller was the very personification of keeping one’s head under pressure, and the sinking of the Titanic wasn’t his last time doing that either: He later commanded on of the evacuation transports at Dunkirk.
