We know he was in his quarters at the time the ship struck the iceberg. If he'd been awake, would he have heard Fleet ringing the three 'gongs' via the bell in the crow's nest? We know others did, like Quartermaster Olliver who was between the compass platform and the bridge.
On a clear, quiet...
Hello, was there any report of staterooms flooding by passengers? if i'm correct the windows on Boat deck could be opened on a hinge and held in that position by a propbar (such as the officers quarters) the windows on A-Deck (e.g smoking room) could roll down like a car window by the use of a...
A google search for Titanic's third class staterooms produces images of what looks like a bunk room with a water fixture at one end. Its height suggests "toilet" but it looks more like a sink. Were they one in the same in 1912? Did these shared bunk rooms actually have open toilets at one end...
So there's this picture floating around on the internet, claimed to be Cabin B-38 of the Titanic:
I'd like to see this confirmed, just because I'm very skeptical with Titanic images claimed to be a certain cabin. It wouldn't be the first time I found that a Titanic pic wasn't what I thought it...
In second and third class cabins of the Titanic, were fittings line beds (or bunks), tables, washbasins etc fixed to the floor? If so, how firmly?
I am asking this in relation to other threads about the not-yet flooded cabins at the stern of the ship during the final plunge. Anything movable...
Hi
I've been trying to work out - by consulting the deck plans - which cabins on Titanic had doors which led directly to the deck (with the exception of cabins with private promenade decks). In 'The Titanic: Voices from the BBC Archives', one of the passengers, Edith Russell, mentions being in...
Hello
I know similar questions to this have already been answered, however it is something that I am morbidly fascinated with and I am hoping to obtain some further viewpoints on it from learned people such as yourselves.
From time to time my imagination conjures up mental images and...
Where can I find the luxurious Parlour Suites on C Deck on the Encyclopedia Titanica deckplans? I know of the ones on B Deck and where they are. Did the C Deck parlour suites have a private promenade like on B Deck? Is it cabin C-64 and C-57?
Hi, I was just wondering where these people slept because I can't find these people's cabins anywhere and I am making a document for every crew member and passenger that includes where they slept. These are problems.
*There seems to be 7 Quartermasters, and the only cabin I find for them is on...
On the B-Deck plans, between cabins B-83 and B-87 and between B-84 and B-88 there are short passages running from the main corridor outwards towards the hull. There's a door at the end, but unlike other similar passages these examples don't even seem to have lockers in them. What was their...
Looking at pictures from both the forward and aft staircase on both the Olympic and Titanic, it's hard not to notice how similar in style they both are. Ok they are some obvious differences and I know the aft staircase is much smaller and doesn't expand as far as the forward, but why are they...
I was looking over the number of stewardesses and the number of cabins and was just wondering if anyone had any idea about how the cabins were divided/how many rooms stewardesses were in charge of? I realize that most passengers had valets and maids, but the ratio of rooms to victualing crew...
According to Colonel Gracie the cabins were locked to prevent looting. Was this a precautionary measure or was there a potential threat or a tip off that someone might try to loot the cabins while the evacuation was taking place? Were all cabins locked in First Class only? It appears the...
I'm trying to understand the layout of cabins D133 & D137.
These are stern cabins on D deck which follow the outside hull where it begins it's great arch over the rudder. The floors of these rooms are curved in the corner (about half of D137 has a sloped floor).
Both cabins have a...
I gather that a cabin would be permanently reserved for the ship's pilot in case he was unable to leave the ship. Can anyone tell me exactly where it was on Titanic?
Cabin Allocations
In the Steerage section of these Cabin Allocations, I found the Joseph/Peter family with an unknown deck, but with the cabin number to be no.69.
The most awkward of this is that when it said Section E, I only found a cabin on F Deck.
WE HAVE JUST REVEALED THAT THE...
Based on BB's Titanic Deck plans, It appears that the Third Class cabin F-180 was just aft of the No:6 hatch in the stern section. If that is the case, what would form the fore-side wall (the wall towards the bow) of that cabin?
Also, being centrally located, there would be no portholes for...
Henry Samuel ETCHES testified that after he had sorted Guggenheim and his valet out, he went and banged on the door of First Class Cabin B-78 (Some sources sat that it was C-78). A man and a woman were inside but did not open the door; instead, they reportedly kept asking Etches what was wrong...
