30 minutes long, but a story about how the Carpathia put in the effort to rescue the Titanic's passengers.
One note is that the Carpathia's engine and hull were rated for 14 knots, but the ship got up to 17 knots. This was done by shutting down heating and hot water service so all the steam from the boilers could go to the engines. The steamship version of "take power from life support if you have to"
