Rostron received the SOS position as the famous, but incorrect, 41° 46' N, 50° 14' W. He then hastily worked out a dead reckoning position for Carpathia. This was calculated at about 12-35 a.m., by which time Rostron had been without a fix since around 7-30 p.m., when he would have fixed his position within a mile by a set of star sights.
His dead reckoning position was therefore subject to the accuracy of the steering, his estimation of the ship's speed and the influence of wind and currents over a period of five hours. After considering these factors, Rostron decided that he was 58 miles from Titanic and that his course to her was 308° True.
By Traverse Table, I calculate his supposed position as 41° 10' N, 49° 12' W. Rostron ordered full speed ahead.
