White Star Line chartered Lapland to repatriate 172 surviving members of Titanic's crew to the UK after they had been detained in the USA for investigations. She also carried 1,927 bags of mail that Titanic had been scheduled to carry. Lapland arrived in England on 28 April, 13 days after Titanic sank. The Lapland reached Plymouth early on Sunday morning, the initial seamen were transferred to tugs and conveyed ashore. In 1993, Lapland was sold to Japanese owners and scrapped in Osaka.
