Eerie black and white photos of Titanic survivors, anxious loved ones and the Carpathia passenger liner's rescue emerge a century on from the day the ill-fated ship set sail.
Dramatic photos of the ship that rescued survivors of the Titanic as the liner went down after hitting an iceberg have been unearthed.
The UK-US Carpathia achieved worldwide fame when it heeded a distress call on April 15, 1912, and raced 58 miles to rescue hundreds of people from the Titanic.
The photos have emerged on the 106th anniversary of the day the Titanic set sail from Southampton for its first and only voyage.
RMS Carpathia was sailing from New York to Austria-Hungary on the night of Sunday, April 14, 1912, when it received the distress signal.
