The comment from "gon2stralia" about 2/3 of the way down the page pretty
much sums it up:
"This photograph has been published numerous times. Robert D Ballard, in
"The Discovery of the Titanic" credits it to the Walter Lord Collection
and
captions it "Boat no 14, towing collapsible D, approaches the Carpathia".
Walter Lord's book, "A Night to Remember" publishes a wider angle view
from
the same shot, captioned "Fifth Officer Lowe has by now lowered the sail
on
No 14 and is rowing up to the Carpathia. He can be seen standing in the
stern at the tiller. Behind him he tows Collapsible D, which he found
wallowing in the sea an hour earlier." This is credited "by courtesy of
Mrs
Louis M Ogden".
Mrs Ogden was a passenger aboard Carpathia."
I've always wondered why, when just about every survivor & witness on
Carpathia, Californian etc. ****trays the ocean that morning as a veritable
sea of small bergs & growlers, there's not a speck of ice to be seen
anywhere, in any of the lifeboat photos.
