The name of the ship that rescued the survivors of the Titanic is the RMS Carpathia. The Carpathia was a British passenger liner that was in service from 1903 to 1918. On April 15, 1912, the Carpathia received a distress call from the Titanic, which had struck an iceberg and was sinking. The Carpathia navigated the ice fields to arrive two hours after the Titanic had sunk, and the crew rescued 706 survivors from the ships lifeboats. The Carpathia then transported the survivors to New York City, the original destination of the Titanic.
