A fact from Colin Campbell Cooper appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 15 April 2011, and was viewed approximately 12,000 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that American artist Colin Campbell Cooper helped rescue survivors of the Titanic, and during the rescue created several paintings (example pictured) which document the events?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/April.

Cooper and the Titanic.

In the article is the sentence "He and his wife were aboard the RMS Carpathia during its rescue mission for the survivors from the sunken RMS Titanic on April 15, 1912.[21][22][23] He assisted in the effort, and during the rescue operation, he created several paintings which document the events.[24]". However, the source has only one picture captioned "Painted while Cooper was on the Carpathia during the rescue." I suspect that Cooper would not have had time to paint more than one gouache "during" the rescue, and probably only sketched it then, fleshing out the rest later. Otherwise he would be rather a lackadaisical rescuer, or else an ancestor of The Flash. Scutigera (talk) 19:08, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An earlier version of the source displays two paintings, each with the notation that they were painted during the rescue. The second painting is a view "after rescuing survivors", but I would still consider that part of the "rescue operation". The actual rescue lasted about four and a half hours; I suspect that Cooper's contributions to the rescue effort may have been minimal, while he devoted his time to documenting the events.
