== Aftermath == After the war, [[Wilhelm Werner]], the man who ordered the torpedoing of Carpathia, was accused of war crimes in [[World War I]] including Carpathia, but these charges were eventually dropped in March of 1926. He eventually went on to become a leader of the SS during [[World War II]]. On 9 September 1999, Argosy International Ltd., headed by Graham Jessop, son of the undersea explorer Keith Jessop, and sponsored by the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), discovered what was then thought to be RMS ''Carpathia''<nowiki/>'s wreck in 600 ft (180 m) of water, 185 mi (298 km) west of Land's End. This was according to a report by the Reuters and AP wire services. Adverse weather conditions forced his ship to abandon the position before Jessop could verify the discovery using underwater cameras. However, when he returned to the location, the wreck was determined to be the Hamburg-America Line's ''Isis'', sunk on 8 November 1936. In 2000, NUMA, an organisation owned by American author and diver Clive Cussler, found the true wreck of the ''Carpathia'' in the spring of that year, at a depth of 500 ft (150 m). It was also found that the ''Carpathia'' landed upright on the seabed. NUMA gave the approximate location of the wreck as 120 mi (190 km) west of Fastnet, Ireland. At an unknown date, the wreck was purchased by Premier Exhibitions Inc., formerly RMS ''Titanic'' Inc., which plans to recover objects from the wreck, although it is not known when.
