clocks

Introduction The issue of time on Titanic is not a new topic and many articles chapters and books have tried to tackle it. But what is it about Titanic’s time that has drawn so much controversy that it needs such scrutiny? I will attempt to explain. First is understanding that the ship’s clocks...

Hi, With regards to servants in first class (such as maids and valets, etc) who were travelling with their employers, how did they wake up on time to wake up their employers? Were alarm clocks used? Or were these servants woken by the night stewards/stewardesses? I have always wondered about...

Who designed or manufactured the clocks on the Titanic?

After months of research and preparation: Time and Again - Titanic's Final Hours This 175-page article has covered more ground on the subject of time, as it relates to Titanic, than has ever been compiled in one place before. It is a comprehensive effort by 7 researchers, with consultation...

I've read that Boxhall testified that the measurements that were used to calculate their position were taken at 7:30. He also said three stars were used to do the measurements, but no stars should have been visible at 7:30 because it still was daylight. The sunset was somewhere after 9. What I...

Some researchers think the ship's bridge clock was retarded before the collision. David Brown suggested 10 pm. If this is true, there may be major consequences to the story of Titanic as we know it: the 11:40 pm time was adjusted, while most other times were not. Titanic sank faster than...

Hi, I came across this photo that was suppose to be comparing the Olympic's clock to the clock from 2011 and 1911. After a little closer of a look, I realized that the clocks are very similar, but there are 3 differences in the carving that are not the same, which I explain in one of these...

I am searching for a photo of a staircase, presumably olympics, of the staircase missing the clock carvings/and cherub post on olympic missing cherubs, or if there is one?

Hey everyone! I've always seen the pictures of the grand staircase from Titanic But I was reading a wikipedia article which said this picture is actually from the Olympic? Are there any pictures of the grand staircase from the Titanic?

I need a little help, please. It is understood that the Titanic struck the iceberg at 11:40 PM (April 14, 1912). But that was, as I understand, "Titanic Time" - the time at which the clocks on the Titanic were set (and having been reset on a daily basis as the ship changed time zones). Would...

I've seen the illustrations of the stairs, but they don't seem to be able to answer my question: was there an Honor and Glory Crowning Time clock fitted into that particular staircase, if only to fit in with the Olympic and Titanic?

I am not sure if this is where this should go but i have a question regarding time. Has there ever been a clock // watch found with the time frozen in place.. I know that in the mysteries of titanic documentary they said they had found a clock on the one nightstand and i was curious if they...

Hi does anyone have any original photos of Cunards ticket office in 25 Broadway New york as I have two large clocks & someone has told me this is where they originally came from

I have some clocks any one recognize them

I believe Parks mentioned that the clock spotted on the fireplace mantle in the Strauss suite on C deck had it's intact hands frozen at '2:04'. Odds are the clock stopped the moment it became submerged- but some have suggested it may have continued to function for some minutes..... I'm...

Can someone please confirm that it was the duty of the wireless operators to alter ship's time? I recall reading this somewhere. AAlso, would it be possible for the ship's clocks to be altered without anyone knowing it? For instance, Hichens speaks specifically of the collision being at...

Does anyone know if Captain E.J Smith was ever presented with a clock from the White star line for the Maiden Voyage of the Olympic. Cheers, Nick.

Hi! I have found this photo on an internet site. Someone suggests that this the only photo existent about Titanic's clock! What do you think about? Regards

How did these "slaved" clocks be controlled? Did it use a "Positive / Negative impulse" type system, as used in older K-12 schools? How often did it "resync" with the master? Was the master analog or digital-mechanical? It seems to me that the sync and advance signals must have been a...
