bridge

Who was on the bridge the night right before the burg hit? I know Murdoch was. But who else? I think I read Moody also.

I have looked at many photographs of Normandie's exterior and always wondered why CGT removed Normandie's electric sign for the 1936 season. Also, I notice that in the middle of 1936 or at the beginning of 1937 that Normandie's bridge wings were extended forward... giving it the "Princess Lea"...

I've noticed that in both photographs and paintings of the Titanic and Olympic's bridge areas, there are odd pedestals both immediately to the port and starboard of the bridge, right next to the forward railing. Does anyone know what they were, and what purpose they served? --Jim

Hello, When pouring over my Titanic documents for the 1000th time, I noticed some unfamiliar objects on the bridge. These are a strange white circle by the forward wheel, and two black switches possible directly in front of the wheel, under the middle window. Any help would be greatly...

Doesn't look like anyone has ever posted here (which is surprising), so I guess I'll be the first... Has anyone ever noticed while watching this movie that the boat deck set has a stairway heading upwards to a bridge on a supposedly higher deck? This is the only movie that has done that. I...

Since the Skylight's thread seems to be drifting off into unintended territory to focus on the efficency or percieved lack thereof of the Titanic's bridge design, I thought it would be wise to start a new thread where it would be more appropriate to discuss it. In the previous thread, David...

I was looking at HMHS Britannic's bridge roof configuration on several plans. Some show a rectangular roof with straight sides like Titanic. One plan seems to show a modification where the roof has a T shape being wider forward and the aft part being roughly the width of the wheelhouse. I...

I have been quite curious for some time where each room was located on the bridge. I have printed out the deckplans from this sight on a LARGE piece of paper and have been jotting down everything on it that I've seen from other plans, pictures, ect. But something that has been bothering me is...

Hi everyone, one thing that has eluded me is a lot of info on the bridge and wheelhouse. Does anyone have any idea about the dimensions of the bridge and wheelhouse? Any info will be greatly appreciated thanks.

I've got a question: Could you visit the bridge, if you where a (first class) passenger?

I just read about all of the different decks on the Titanic and found that it had a lot of rooms that you would never expect. Here are some of the interesting ones: gymnasium, hospital, doctor's office, barber shop, swimming pool, turkish bath, raquet court, and post office. By the way...does...

Forgive me if this has been discussed already. I sought but didn't find, so . . . In photos and a video sequence of Capt. Smith walking the bridge, and in the movie I've seen what looks like a door on the outside wall of both wing cabs (a door that would lead to a long wet drop without some...

Hey everyone, I haven't posted here in months, I have been very busy. I had a question. In the 1997 Cameron movie, Cal, Rose, and her mother are being given a tour of the bridge, and they go and meet captain Smith. Was this typical? Were passengers given tours of the bridge and...

Soon after the the noon departure time from Southampton, of 10 April 1912...I was wondering if anybody might know the schedule of Titanic's Bridge Quartermasters, and who took over the wheel soon after Pilot George Bowyer left the ship at the Nab lightship? Any help at all will *certainly* be...

Hello, are there any pictures of inside the RMS Olympic's bridhe or wheelhouse? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Alec

In Ghosts of the Abyss, we see several images of the remains of the ship's bridge. I am wondering about some of the items I think I see in those images. I think I see an old flower bouquet. I am pretty sure I see several plaques. But I'm not sure what those white, round things are, that...

This is another one, more or less directed at Captain Erik Wood, although I'd be interested in what anyone has to say on the subject. In the section of TAOS that describes the sinking of the Titanic Lightoller mentions that off-duty officers were not welcome on the bridge. While I think I...

If the deck officers had not been changed at Southampton, Lightoller would have been on the bridge at the time prior to the collision. Would he have been more vigilant that evening?

Hello once again (bet you're all getting sick of me ^_^ ) I would like to know what the seperate bridge telegraphs on Titanic/Olympic/Brit annic were like. I bring this up under the influence of James Cameron's movie, at about 1:30am. What I would like to know is what each of the telegraphs...

Does anyone know what changes were made to the QE2 fairly early on in her life (certainly before the Falklands service). The only one I know of is the addition of several penthouse suites, but if you compare very early photos, there is a very obvious change at the front below the bridge. In this...
