Thanks to both of you for filling in the name. We'll add this information to the record the next time we update.

Given that this photo is also from the LOC and from Bain, it seems likely that it's from the same series. Also, the captain's name is Rostron, not Rostrom.

Thanks for the tip! We’ll need to correct the Captain's name in the source data so that we can keep the information we show here in Flickr and in our own catalog ( http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html) in sync.

CAPTAIN A. H. ROSTROM Commander of the Carpathia, which rescued the survivors of the Titanic from the life-boats in the open sea and brought them to New York. After the Senatorial Investigating Committee had examined Captain Rostrom, at which time this specially posed photograph was taken, Senator William Alden Smith, chairman of the committee, said of Captain Rostrom: "His conduct of the rescue shows that he is not only an efficient seaman, but one of nature's noblemen."} en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Henry_Rostron
