Which Cunard liner rescued Titanic's survivors from lifeboats?

RMS Carpathia rescued Titanic's survivors from the lifeboats. The Cunard Line steamship responded to Titanic's distress calls, raced through an ice field, and reached the lifeboats in the early morning of April 15, 1912.

Carpathia arrived roughly two hours after Titanic sank and spent several hours taking people aboard. Her crew ultimately rescued about 712 survivors, providing them with blankets, food, coffee, and medical attention. Captain Arthur Rostron directed the operation and later received major honors for his leadership.

Carpathia also recovered 13 of Titanic's lifeboats, although several collapsible boats were left adrift. The ship then turned toward New York, Titanic's intended destination, and arrived on April 18. SS Californian was nearby during the disaster but did not perform the rescue; its delayed response became a major subject of later inquiries. SS Mount Temple and RMS Lusitania were not the rescue ship.
