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.
