RMS Carpathia and the Titanic

[mike carey]

Not a gay- or escort-related thread but an interesting conversation, nevertheless, about the RMS Carpathia, the ship that rescued the survivors of the Titanic in 1912. She was sunk by a U-boat on 17 Jul 1918, almost exactly 100 years ago today.

The interviewee is the author of a book about the ship.

Kathy Bates was good casting for that role.
