On the night of the 14th April, Captain Rostron himself was in his cabin, so when Harold Cottam,Carpathia’sradio officer, first gotTitanic’sdistress call, Cottam dashed onto the bridge to find First Officer H. Dean. He told Dean about theTitanic’scall for help, who to Dean’s creditdidn’tcheck out Cottam’s story first. He led Cottam to the Captain’s cabin, and burst in, telling Rostron the dreadful news. Rostron asked Cottam directly if he was sure it was theTitanicin distress, to which Cottam confirmed it was.

Rostron then did something which is often overlooked by many books and films; he orderedCarpathia’snew coursebeforechecking that what Cottam was telling him was indeed fact, and not a garbled message of some sort, which was quite possible in those days of early communications,thenhe worked out the relative positions of both ships and set a more accurate course.
Captain Rostron then began to prepare his vessel for the hours ahead, and the extent of the planning reads like a manual on the subject of rescuing passengers at sea.
