It's hard to name single people who are to blame for the catastrophe. All who saved lives are heroes. #livetitanic

The Finns are weary but happy to be ashore.. Now it's time for them to say goodbyes and head towards new adventures. #livetitanic

"You'll learn English by speaking it boldly. But do not discuss with swindlers even in learning purposes!" @Amerikanmatti advises the Finns.

It's raining buckets. Carpathia is surrounded by small boats with journalists on them. Port is full of family members and spectators.

Boiler men of RMS Olympic, about to sail to New York, are planning a strike since their ship carries too few lifeboats. #livetitanic

[Livetitanic @titanicfi]

Sister ship to Titanic and Olympic will be called Britannic, and she's to be complete in 1914. #livetitanic
