What a hero, I can't imagine how petrifying it must have been on that fateful night, thank you for saving as many passengers as you could. Rip Sir Arthur Rostron xx

[@johngaskins4700]

Sir Arthur should have more recognition in the story of the sinking of the Titanic. I agree thank you Paul for your hard work making these videos.

[@shaynewheeler9249]

😢😢😢😢😢

[@gilltagg3352]

To rescue 700 odd people on that tragic night is a true hero. Such a shame his ship had a sad ending.

[@DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY]

At least its sinking wasn’t too tragic.

[@sallykohorst8803]

Yes that captain was an amazing person so thanks for his story So sorry The CARPATHIA was sunk too.

[@sandykenuk]

This man saved a lot of life's, I read he always regretted not getting there early.

[@padijeff5675]

I bet the Carpathia could have saved some many more lives if it was there earlier, or the Californian had bothered?😮

[@KarlKeeley]

@@padijeff5675 yes I agree

[@fmyoung]

Walter Lord in "The Night Lives On" mentions that Boxhall told Rostron the Titanic was gone which Rostron already sensed "with a sinking heart" when he arrived at the scene

[@fmyoung]

@@padijeff5675 Yeah I wish the Carpathia was closer so she could've made it earlier to the scene

[@christopherdale7017]

He didn't get enough praise for saving the Titanic Survivors. Gee Paul you really know your stuff.

[@susanbriwn7702]

Never heard of Arthur Rostran. Nice tribute for a hero. May he rest in peace.

[@geoffpoole483]

"Hero" is a term that is often misapplied, but what Sir Arthur and his crew did that night makes them heroes.

[@DANIELLE_BREANNA_LACY]

@@geoffpoole483 And his passengers too.

[@darranweston9425]

Spare a thought too for the crew of the Mackay Bennett who had the job of recovering bodies. I was quite tearful at this one, Sir Arthur deserves his place in history, what a man. Thanks Paul (Wipes away tears)

[@shenysys]

@@darranweston9425 In most cases all they could do was the bury them at sea.

[@anitajowett1717]

Liked the Video very nice to know about the Captain of the Carpathia, saving 700 people from the Titanic and his life history. Thank you

[@paulhickson-vb9ic]

Love the movie titanic thankyou sir for your bravery thankyou Paul ❤

[@stellastone8720]

R. I.P. Sir Arthur Rostron, so many more people could have lost their lives when the Titanic sank if it wasn’t for you picking up so many. R. I.P to your beloved wife. Thank you and the crew who served under you to save so many xx Another excellent visit to a graveyard Paul, a big thank you to you as well xx

[@markdigby6690]

Just think. On that tragic night of the sinking of the Titanic. What a part this man played in its history and the amount of lives they helped save from the sinking. Thanks again Paul for all your hard work in bringing these final resting places to us.

[@sandrakoch8682]

Paul I'm glad that you shared the story of Arthur and what he did to saved so many people. 🙏❤

[@marion370]

He must of had nightmares not being able to save all of those people,bless his heart but he was a hero to the 706 people he did save,what a brave man & the crew of carpathia..RIP Arthur & thank you ❤🌈🤝🙏

[@michaelhoggarth89]

Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... Arthur must have what is known today as PTSD as what he saw and experienced must have been traumatic... I hope Arthur is Resting in Peace and realises that many wouldn't be here today with all those lives he saved...x

[@user-ko2tu3ss3o]

On the 80th anniversary of Mrs. Minnie Rostrons death, 07th July 2023, we give thanks and praise for lives lived in Service. RIP Captain Sir Arthur and Lady Minnie. We honour your memory. Thank you Paul for this wonderful video and service to others.

[@debbiemccarthy3864]

What a Hero ...he has a beautiful grave ,,

[@marlenawells3574]

Such a hero. It always struck me as if only a ship couldn’t have been closer after the impact to rescue more. Brilliant idea to feature him. 👏🏻

[@creationinmotion4124]

A genuine hero and very hard to watch Paul. Very sympathetic presentation. Thank you 😊

[@michaelhoggarth89]

Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... Thanks for telling Arthur story, He did save many lives but I believe they are still many unsung heroes from that faitful night...I hope all RIP...

[@annieallen2171]

Thank you, I love watching your video Paul

[@escapetheratracenow9883]

There's a wonderful interview with Captain Rostron on KZbin. He was a magnificent mariner whose ship and crew risked everything to rescue Titanic's survivors. His actions contrast starkly with the lack of them from Captain Lord of the Californian. Her officers observed Titanic's distress rockets from only ten miles away...

[@leonacardenas5552]

Thank you for your videos. Love them and remembering the Titanic. ❤️ Great idea to visit all the graves. RIP 💔🎂

[@jamesmcbride6304]

Didnt no this about him really interesting a true hero putting his life on the line to save other people. Thanks paul

[@darranweston9425]

Just to add, CQD or come quick, distress was the recognised distress call on Marconi Operators at that point but CQD would never be sent alongside an SOS as both are contradictory. It was only after 30 mins that John Philips complained that he was getting a poor response. Harold Bride said 'Why don't you try the new SOS old man, while we still have time?' Titanics call sign MGY was the second ship in history to send out an SOS. I'm a Titanic Historian for good measure

[@stevemaynards.g.t]

Thank you paul for saying about this 😎👍

[@shenysys]

Australian band Flash and the pan (featuring George Young and Harry Vanda ) released a song called down among the dead men which was all about the Titanic. Fun fact - George Young is the old brother to both Angus and Malcolm Young, both from AC DC.

[@jacquelinehabgood-painter8867]

Exceptioal.

[@barryjacobs8524]

Thankyou Paul for a memorable video, you made me cry on telling that story. After all this time Titanic is still a sad story. But you told it wonderfully. (Jennifer).❤

[@garymansell8756]

Hi paul another cracking vid what a hero this man was and his crew. R.I.P. Arthur.x.

[@ilovephil82]

Hi Paul my husband and I went to sir Richard attenboroughs resting place in Richmond and apparently his ashes weren’t buried until 2019 because the floor in the lovely church had some work done on it. A lovely vicar told us. This was very very interesting. An extraordinary man may he rest in peace xx

[@charlottespurway912]

Rest in peace Arthur Rostron and his wife too!! 👼😇👼😇🙏🙏 Lovely headstone!!! Thank you Paul 😊

[@Rob-Benny-Hill]

Thank you Paul, as always so respectful. What a great man Sir Arthur was. Not enough has been said about his efforts with his crew. Many more could have passed away.

[@lunevalleyparanormal]

A lovely tribute by yourself thanks Paul Nice to see his grave so well kept A true hero And whenever you visit up North please do go to Colne cemetery where the grave of Wallace Hartley is He was the violinist on board the Titanic & played as the ship went down

[@Pellegrineanita]

So sad 😢xx

[@andyg.9406]

Thanx Paul, Great info here on Arthur, Great man indeed. Glad to see his grave is and headstone in great condition as it should be. Arthur saved so many lives from the Titanic unlike Capt Lord who choose to ignore the distress signals, a lot more lives could have been saved. Anyway Arthur God bless him for what he did. 🙏

[@Pellegrineanita]

That's true, so much of the sorrow could've been avoided if they had not turned the machine off.. sickens me to the stomach xx

[@DickieDerbidge-vu5we]

Great video as always Paul.

[@geoffpoole483]

I wasn't aware so many were rescued, nor was I aware of Sir Arthur Rostron or the Carpathia. The seas and oceans can be terrifying. The late Gordon Lightfoot wrote a song about a 1975 tragedy called The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. The "Fitz" was a freighter on the great lakes and was sunk during a storm. All 29 crew were killed.

[@fmyoung]

tyvm Paul for this; Rostron truly deserves big-time recognition

[@christinecowley3120]

Lovely video! Amazing story, of an amazing Captain and his crew on that night R.I.P. This video made me think of the hymn ‘For Those in Peril on the Sea’

[@insane_rail_lover]

Captain Rostron will forever be the best Captain for what he did ❤️ Also a big Thank You to Mr. Harold Cottam, the young 21 year old radio operator. He was getting ready to go to bed and turn the machine off once he heard the distress call. If the message came in from the Titanic just seconds later, he wouldn’t have picked it up and the Carpathia would have been almost completely forgotten. I am so thankful the Carpathia has become known for it and I became devastated to hear that she was sunk in 1918 by German Uboat U55. I have had so much interest in the Carpathia in the previous years, I even bought myself a Historic Novel about the ship, written by Jay Ludowyke.

[@sobo1956]

Thats Brilliant Paul always so interesting Arthur was a good man hope he wont be forgotten in later years

[@gillnelson9037]

Woww what a story. He saved so many lives. What a lovely man. Love you doing about titanic most people know about it either though book or film. But as for you doing about everything surrounding it and hearing about everyone connected is brilliant. And seeing where they are buried knowing about them makes it more real. Thanks so much Paul I found this extremely interesting love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💙 💚

[@anthonyellis987]

The crew of the RMS Carpathia, led by Captain Arthur Roston were heroes of the disaster. He deserves his grave stone.

The Marconi offices are still around and thriving. It’s now a smoke house restaurant, used to be a night club. Only The best night club That’s ever been in Weston-super-Mare, Hobbits. The site in brean is now a carpark but I think there’s still a building left on site. X

I came across this year's ago when researching the 3 sister ships, part of the dining room of Olympic was removed when she was scrapped on the Tyne, and the removed panels, ornaments and fittings were fitted into a Restaurant in Alnwick.

That's interesting....do you know the name of the restaurant by any chance? I'd love to visit.... Cheers from Chile.

[@paulcarter4429]

Excellent narrative aboout a truly amazing captain. His ship could have equally been in immense danger in that area known for icebergs. It must have been appaling for both the captain and crew to go through that ordeal and one you would never forget. Also with the recent loss of another five lives another disaster. Thanks for all your hard work involved in making these videos.

Thanks for doing the Titanic graves that you can Paul. I have been fascinated by the story for a long time. Since the 80's. I met 3 survivors when they were alive and went to many a Convention in Southampton. So this is a bonus for me as I don't have the time at the moment to do what you do. I look forward to this new beginning. Cheers.

My gt gt uncle Thomas J Everett and his friend who lost their lives on the titanic. They were found 3 days later by the cable ship Mackay-Bennett. This is what sparked interest with my mum and me joining the Norfolk Titanic Society, weve been members a while now. We found out some 20 yrs ago when doing our family tree 🌳 when exploring my mums dads side of the family.

You should tell the Titanic Historical Society all about that

[@johnspicer3890]

Hi Paul, another great and interesting vid. You might of visited this before, but if not, there is the grave of Jack Philips in the cemetery at Nightingale Road, Godalming Surrey. He is famous in the area as he was the wireless operator who sent out the SOS messages and went down with the Titanic, still at his post. He was born in Farncombe, where there is a plaque on the front of the shop that stands on the site where his families house stood. Also there is the Philips Memorial in Godalming behind St. Peter and St. Paul's town church in memory to him, hope this might be of interest to you.

[@davidlally592]

Mm and in the 1958 A Night To Remember film, he was played by the now late actor Kenneth Griffith, whom I got to know in his later years. The other Marconi radio operator in that film (who survived the sinking) was played by a young David McCallum (Man From Unclee etc) who is still with us.

As the Carpathia started to race towards the disaster scene Rostron being the pious man that he was raised his cap about 2in and started to pray. Then, before leaving the scene in the morning of the 15th he had everyone assembled for a brief service in memory of those lost and in thanksgiving for those saved. He said after the rescue that a hand other than his must have been on the helm that night
