White Star Line in Podcasts

Operated by the prestigious White Star Line, the RMS Titanic was built in Belfast with a staggering cost of about £1.5 million.

It's the early hours of April the 15th, 1912. The Cunard liner RMS Carpathia is steaming through the night, full speed ahead. Ever since the ship's wireless operator Harold Cottam received Titanic's distress call at 12.25 that morning, Carpathia has been in crisis mode. Captain Arthur Rostron has ordered every last drop of steam to the engines.
