What time did the Titanic survivors get to New York?
What time did the Titanic survivors get to New York? By the time the Carpathia arrived in the New York harbor on April 18 around 9:15 P.M., thousands of people were standing outside Pier 54 at West 13th Street on the Hudson River. Many were family members of passengers who didn't know if their relatives were dead or alive.
Why do captains go down with the ship?
Social and legal responsibility. The tradition says that the captain should be the last person to leave their ship alive before its sinking, and if they're unable to evacuate the crew and passengers from the ship, the captain will choose not to save himself even if he has an opportunity to do so.
