RMS Carpathia, a British Cunard Line steamship, became a symbol of maritime heroism when it played a crucial role in the rescue mission of survivors from the sinking RMS Titanic in 1912. Under the command of Captain Arthur Henry Rostron, Carpathia braved hazardous conditions to reach the disaster site promptly, saving over 700 lives. Although its own naval service was relatively brief, ending with its sinking during World War I in 1918, the legacy of RMS Carpathia endures as a testament to human compassion and valor in the face of one of the most infamous maritime tragedies in history.
The RMS Carpathia model is handcrafted from the finest materials and with the utmost attention to detail. Every porthole, mast, and deck is meticulously recreated, and the ship is even painted in the same colors as the original vessel.

Order yours today and experience the magic of the Titanic era for yourself.
The RMS Carpathia was a British passenger liner that was built in 1903 and entered service for the Cunard Line in 1904. She was a relatively new ship at the time, and she was also one of the largest and fastest ships on the North Atlantic. The Carpathia was primarily used to transport immigrants from Europe to North America, but she also carried passengers on transatlantic cruises.
The Carpathia became famous in 1912 when she responded to a distress call from the sinking Titanic. The Titanic had struck an iceberg and was sinking rapidly. The Carpathia was the closest ship to the Titanic, and she arrived on the scene about two hours after the Titanic sank. The Carpathia’s crew rescued 705 survivors from the Titanic’s lifeboats.
The Carpathia’s rescue of the Titanic survivors was a heroic act, and the ship became known as the “Hero Ship of the Titanic Disaster.” The Carpathia’s crew worked tirelessly to rescue the survivors, and they provided them with food, water, and medical care. The Carpathia also transported the survivors back to New York City, where they were reunited with their loved ones.
The Carpathia continued to serve on the Cunard Line until 1918, when she was sunk by a German U-boat during World War I. The Carpathia was torpedoed by the U-boat SM U-55 on July 17, 1918, and she sank within 25 minutes. Five crew members were killed in the sinking, but the remaining 218 crew members and 57 passengers were rescued by other ships.
The Carpathia’s wreck was discovered in 1998, and it is now a popular destination for shipwreck divers. The wreck is located in the North Atlantic Ocean, about 220 miles west of Ireland. It is in relatively good condition, and divers can still see many of the ship’s original features, including her lifeboats, masts, and funnel.
The Carpathia is a significant historical artifact, and her story continues to fascinate people around the world. She is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of hope.

I am very happy with my ‘Carpathia’. Her radio officer was instrumental in the rescue of Titanic’s survivors and I happen to have served at sea as a radio officer with the same company, Marconi Marine, hence the interest. The model arrived promptly and safely having been well boxed. The craftsmanship is obvious and very much the heirloom I was hoping for. Trust Seacraft Gallery if you want a quality product, I have one or two more vessels on my bucket list and I’ll be giving them my custom. Sorry I have no photos but she’s safely back in the box having started redecorating the lounge and knocking up a space to display her.
