bridge

Dear communitiy, Today, I came up with a small hypothesis as to why OOW Murdoch, as far as we know, didn’t spot the iceberg earlier than the lookouts in the crow’s nest. One possible reason could be that his night vision was not optimal. But what might have caused that? For example, lighting a...

The bridge connecting Pelican Island to the mainland in Galveston TX has been struck by a barge carrying oil. The barge was being towed by a tug, but the cable broke. Up to 2,000 gallons of oil were spilled. It's reported that about 500 gallons have been recovered. There were no casualties...

Looking at the plans on Encyclopedia Titanica, I estimate the distance between the bridge and the Marconi room to be about 100 feet, maybe slightly less. Do we have an accurate distance? Was there a phone in the Marconi room? If there was, why couldn't Philips or Bride use it while the other...

A thought has just occurred to me; considering how cold the night of April 14th / 15th was, and how the cold affected those on duty, what was the policy of having/allowing hot drinks on the bridge for those on duty? Surely having hot drinks while on duty would be an important factor to keep...

Was it the one on the bridge, the one at the base of the mast, or the one in the crow's nest? I need some help with this, do any of you here know which one of Titanic's bells were rung at every half-hour?

Good morning everyone, After the collision happened, the captain gave several orders to his officers/crew to assess the damage or to tour the ship, then waking the off-duty officers, and the captain consulting with Andrews etc. But what happened in the meantime on the bridge? Were Moody and...

Seems like it would have made sense to have one Marconi operator and room just for passenger messages and a separate Marconi operator and room on the bridge for navigation messages. "Mixing" nonsense passenger vanity messages with navigation messages was a terrible and insane idea that played a...

Hello, first, sorry for my absence, I started thinking of getting back to my revell titanic only yesterday. I'm planning to redo the shape of the bridge and promenade deck beause I don't like how the revell part look (I'll do it for both of my 1/570 scale kit) but I'm unsure about the dimension...

Hello Everyone, My first language is not English but French, and I need you to tell me, if you please, what is the definition of Foot-Bridge of which Lightoller was talking about in his evidence question 13753 when he says "I, first of all, looked forward to the bridge and everything seemed...

I have never seen the bridge on the wreck and I have no idea what happened to it, can anybody tell me what happened to it?

What are these 'panels' attached to the bottom of the Titanic's navigating bridge (the one marked in yellow)? Also, what are they for, if anyone knows.

Does anyone happen to know the dimensions of the wood planks used to build the bridge? I've looked through several sources but I'm unable to find anything on them.

These areas were forbidden to passengers and without an invitation, would men and women received different punishments? Was there a guide book for the officers, if this situation occurred?

Recently there has been debate in some other forums regarding the purpose of the wheel on Titanic's docking bridge. I wrote an article recently to answer questions raised in those debates. Titanic Docking Bridge Wheel Function Article Regards, Bob Read

In building my model of the great ship, I have a question I cant seem to get a straight answer for, what is the correct look for the bridge roof? In James Cameron's movie and in all of Ken Marshall's paintings, the roof appears to be wood planking like the decks. However, most models I see, and...

Hello! i would like to know what kind of gauges and instrumentation what used on the bridge as in the 1997 Movie "Titanic" what i believe to be multiple moving coil gauges on the bulkheads on the wheelhouse. From what i understand, the wheelhouse instrumentation consisted of: Telemotor...

The following attachment is the Olympic's bridge. You can note the telegraphs and helm are covered (green) but there are two pipes visible hanging in the windows also (red). Does anyone have an idea as to what these are?

From what I have read on this site regarding bridge lighting, it's apparent that very dim white lighting was used in the wheel house. I'm curious as to when red light was introduced on ships. Obviously it would not be usable on the bridge as reflections from the bridge windows would occur. But...

Here is the poster. The bridge looks like the Queen Mary's. Here is the a pic of the Queen Mary. Here is a pic of the Titanic. Note the two different bridges. Did the poster artist not do proper research, or did he grab the closest picture of a ship that he could find and it turned out to...
