Postcard featuring a depiction of the Carpathia surrounded by three full lifeboats and a female in the water in a life ring, published by Joseph Koehler of New York, captioned at the bottom: “‘S. S. Carpathia,’” and vertically in the left and right borders: “Rescuing the 705 survivors of the Titanic, sunk off Halifax, April 15, 1912. 1,600 persons were drowned. Insurance loss, 14,500.000. The Carpathia was on her way to the Mediterranean with 200 passengers on board, when Capt. Rostrom received the distress calls from the Titanic, fifty-six miles away.” Postmarked June 14, 1912, in Milwaukee, WI, and bears brief, unrelated letter of thanks. A few light creases, ding to the top edge, and scattered soiling, otherwise fine condition. A rare postcard related to the daring rescue.
