Publishers Description: In 1912, the Cunard steamship Carpathia receives a distress call from the new White Star liner Titanic. Captain Arthur Rostron immediately turns Carpathia northwest and sails full speed through the dark night, into waters laden with icebergs.Meanwhile, almost a century later, Carpathias wreck has been finally discovered. Shes over 500 feet down and only a few divers in the world can attain this depth. Among them is Englishman Ric Warings team, who are determined to be the first to reach the wreck. In this captivating and intensely researched story, we follow the dual narratives of Rostron and the Carpathia, and of Warings team and their dangerous determination to reach the wreck. We learn the history - and the fate - of the Carpathia, beyond 1912 and into World War I. Rich in history and drama, this true story reads like the best fiction.
