(Three available, all from same voyage, with varied markings/stampings)

These position slips. from the Cunard liner Carpathia, come from an April 1909 voyage; exactly three years before her heroic role in rescuing Titanic's survivors. A new slip would have been filled out at the end of each day's official run, capturing the distance traveled, current coordinates, and heading. They were tacked to a board in the Chart Room and used to position the ship along her planned course in the days before GPS.
