#oh also Cunard still exists and owns the Queen Mary 2 so the age of ocean liners isn’t really over in that regard

So I only learned recently that the RMS Carpathia was sunk by a German torpedo during WW1. Even more eerie is that she sank the exact same day that the Romanovs were murdered, July 17th, 1918. They’ve found her wreck off of the cost of Ireland, but no one has done a deep dive to investigate her since she was found in 2000. She’s only 500 feet under, so she’s easy to access…someone needs to start that mission!

#the Carpathia is one of those ships that should have been preserved and turned into a museum #by her sheer willpower to save the Titanic her engines were weakened #when time came for her to escape the Germans she was too crippled to go any faster #if nobody explores the wreck then she could be forgotten #I hope people take the time to look at her and give her the reverence she deserves #rms carpathia #cunard #Cunard line #oh also Cunard still exists and owns the Queen Mary 2 so the age of ocean liners isn’t really over in that regard #world war 1
