Carpathia Jay Ludowyke

(HACHETTE AUSTRALIA)

History books can be dry and uninviting, but not so Carpathia. Jay Ludowyke retells with careful attention to detail, the events of the night of 1912, when the transatlantic passenger steamship operated by RMS Cunard Line rescued the survivors of its rival White Star Line’s RMS Titantic. Seven years after the dramatic and heroic rescue, the

Carparthia was torpedoed by a German submarine in Irish waters during World War I. This book examines the search for the Carpathia’s wreck on the bottom of the North Atlantic sea floor, over 150 metres below the surface. The perfect winter’s day read.
