Description: BEAUTIFUL REPLICA OF AN ORIGINAL CARPATHIA LIFEBOAT BADGE, BADGE # 11, AS AUTHENTIC AS YOU CAN GET! ON APRIL 15, 1912, WHEN THE CARPATHIA RECIEVED THE DISTRESS CALL FROM THE RMS TITANIC, CAPTAIN ARTHUR H. ROSTRON ACTED IMMEDIATELY. HE CHANGED HIS SHIPS COURSE TO THE TITANIC'S COORDINATES, ADDED DOUBLE STOKERS, AND CONVERTED EVERY OUNCE OF STEAM ON BOARD HIS VESSEL TO THE ENGINES. NEXT, HE MUSTERED HIS CREW AND PREPARED THEM TO RECIEVE 2000 SURVIVIORS. CREWMEN AND SAILORS WORE NUMBERED LIFEBOAT BADGES-- SADLY WHEN THE CARPATHIA ARRIVED AT TITANIC'S COORDINATES, THE SHIP HAD ALREADY FOUNDERED LEAVING JUST HER BOATS WITH 700 SURVIVORS. GEORGE BEHE'S BOOK "VOICES FROM THE CARPATHIA" GIVES EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS OF CARPATHIA LOWERING SOME OF HER OWN BOATS TO ASSIST IN THE RECOVERY OF TITANIC'S LIFEBOATS AND TO LOOK FOR ANY BODIES IN THE WATER. THIS LISTING IS FOR AN EXACTING REPLICA OF A CARPATHIA LIFEBOAT BADGE. IT MEASURES 1.75" X 2" AND WILL LOOK GREAT IN YOUR TITANIC/ CARPATHIA HISTORICAL DISPLAY. THERE ARE VERY FEW ORIGINALS IN EXISTENCE. MOST HAVE BEEN SNATCHED UP BY PRIVATE COLLECTORS. I'VE SEEN THEM SELL FOR $2500.00 OR MORE. THERE IS ONE ON DISPLAY AT THE TITANIC HISTORICAL SOCIETY.NOW IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A BEAUTIFUL REPLICA AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF AN ORIGINAL. I SHIP VIA USPS WITH TRACKING. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE CHECK BACK OFTEN AS I AM ADDING NEW ITEMS EVERY DAY!
