boiler rooms

i have 3 big questions about electrical system function after collision. 1. what caused the breakers tripping so forward boiler rooms were engulfed in darkness? how they solved this problem? did power go out in few/couple cabins aswel at time of the boiler rooms losing lights?. 2. did...

hi mates, the survivor Eleanor Johnson in an interview tells a curious fact: her mother was taken to the bottom of the Carpathia to warm up... you talk about a place with heated tubes, does anyone know if this happened to other passengers? where could these places be?

Hi, just a quick question: I know BR1 was never lit on the voyage, but is there any possibility a couple of boilers were lit during the sinking in an attempt to keep a steady supply of steam; If some of these boilers were lit up after the collision, then that could explain why some survivors...

where were the escape ladders for the watertight doors in the boiler rooms located and where did they go?

Hi all! This is my nº 1 Boiler Room from scracht. Hope enjoy!

Would Titanic capsize? Or would she sink bodily? Maybe the water could flow towards the bow/stern?

Did the red paint in the boiler rooms indicate the waterline?

I am still thinking if the boilers fell straight down one by one while the stern section rotated facing against the bow. I am suspecting that the boiler location, which looks like an arc, proves that the stern rotated and drifting before it finally sinking. I marked the boilers red and scaled...

I was wondering why they find these men without socks or boots ????

Hi, me again. Does anyone know if there were separate rooms for members of staff? I know the officers had their own quarters, but were staff such as people who worked in the boiler room and people that worked in the restaurants kept separate? On the plans for the ship, I saw that there were four...

Does anyone know if there was a specific staff entrance that staff would use instead of passenger entrances? It's such a minor detail but it's been aggravating me. And if so, were there like specific entrances that staff used? One for, say, the officers or the people who worked in the boiler room?

I'm very interested in the things "down below" I just can' find a full description on the Kilroy's stoking indicators used on Titanic. English is not my native language, so technical English is a bit hard. Hope you understand. Example. Boiler room with two stokeholds and doubled ended boilers...

As we have no eyewitness testimony that water spilt over the tops of the bulkheads and into the adjacent boiler rooms via E-deck, could it be said that this did not sink the ship? Documentaries and films show boiler room 6 flooding and the water rising up to E-deck and spilling over into boiler...

For the last 20 minutes of the tragic disaster, and about the Morse code messages sent to nearby ships on April 15th 1912. The last few messages sent to the nearby ships were as follows: "CQD, SOS. MGY (titanic) to all stations. Engine room flooded up to the boilers" And: "CQD, SOS. MGY to all...

Hi, Generally when reading of Titanic's stokers and trimmers, only the briefest of mention is made to how they came to sign on to the ship. My pretty basic understanding, is that an individual would seek employment for a voyage on a ship by ship basis, rather than a permanent position with a...

George Beauchamp said he was in "No. 6 boiler". He shut the dampers and drew the fires after the collision. He said: "Water was coming in on the plates when we were drawing the fires.....The water was just coming above the plates then." Q - You mean it was coming through the floor? A - Yes...

I can imagine what conditions must have been like fo the "black gang" working in the boiler rooms, although probably far better on the Titanic than older ships. Since they were well below the waterline, what did they have in terms of ventilation facilities so that the crew could breathe at least...

I understand that there are some informative interior photographs of the relatively intact bow section of the Titanic wreck. Is there one showing the watertight bulkhead between boiler rooms #5 and #4? If so, what shape is it in and can they tell whether it 'failed' just after 02:15 am leading...

I tried to research this but found nothing; just curious if the boiler room has every been explored under water? Or any attempts at it?

Looking at the Encyclopedia Titanica blueprints, it seems like the boilers are on the Orlop Deck and the Engine and Turbine room is on the Tank Top Deck. However, I was told the boiler rooms and the engine and turbine room are all on the Tank Top Deck. Who is right, or am I just reading the...
