This set of Cunard Line playing cards, manufactured by the New York Consolidated Card company, was reportedly removed from the RMS Carpathia when she docked in New York City to offload Titanic's surviving passengers. The oral provenance behind this set states that they were removed by a Carpathia passenger who played cards with a man rescued from Titanic and who decided to keep the cards as a memento of what was surely an unusual voyage.
