Titanic Voices | Captain Arthur Rostron, Carpathia
Sir Arthur Henry Rostron, KBE, RD, RND, Cunard Line, British Merchant Navy, Royal Naval Reserve, (May 14, 1869 - November 4, 1940).
A pious man, Rostron often issued orders raising a hand to his cap and closing his eyes in prayer. In speaking of the risk taken by running through dense ice at speed at night, he is reported to have said, "I can only conclude another hand than mine was on the helm."

So glad he got the Titantic signal to help her Great to hear the captain talking about it.
A true heroic figure and a very noble sailor, with god-given courage, wisdom and strength. A real leader. It's no surprise that notable Titanic First Class passengers and survivors such as Molly Brown, Karl Behr, Frederic Spedden, Mauritz Hakan Björnström-Steffansson Isaac Gerald Frauenthal, and George Achilles Harder formed a committee to honor this man. Now I know he had a great voice too. A gentleman, a guardian angel, the perfect Captain. Had he commanded the Titanic, she would've been okay. I chuckled when I read a story that he had nicknamed that coward of the Californian: 'the little man that didn't want to wake his wireless operator'
Thank you for this wonderful audio of an incredibly courageous man of action.

@@stephenholmes1036 it's apparently in a uk national liberty as BBC archives. I don't think I can get it and it could be why the original 50 min one was placed on private. Copyright.
