The Carpathia was on its regular voyage to New York City, when early on 15 April 1912 it received a distress signal from the White Star Line ocean liner Titanic, which had struck an iceberg and was sinking. Rostron was asleep when his wireless operator, Harold Cottam, inadvertently left his headset on while undressing for bed and so heard the signal. Cottam alerted Rostron's who immediately ordered the ship to race towards the Titanic, posting extra lookouts to help spot and maneuver around the ice he knew to be in the area. Even so, Carpathia, took about 3½ hours to reach the Titanic's radioed position. During this time Rostron turned off heating to ensure the maximum amount of steam for the ship's engines and had the ship prepared for the survivors, ordering his medical crew to stand by to receive those possibly injured.Altogether, a list of 23 orders from Rostron to his crew was successfully implemented before Carpathia had even arrived at the scene of the disaster.
