Came across 2 new sources online at www.Archive.org/details/texts. The quick, easy flip book format can be viewed weakly but otherwise you have to download the big PDF. A Manual of Marine Engineering, A. E. Seaton, item link, pg 98 & 99. Marine Engineer magazine, vol 33 July 1911. Plans on...

Hello I'am working since a long time on a painting of Titanic during its final plunge at 2.17. A.M. In this case,i have a question about the Reciprocating Engine Room Casing on the Boat Deck. .... on several original Titanic photos, one can see these casings relatively closed, but one the...

Hi am trying to find data on 'Evans' probably rated 'donkeyman'. He would have been my grandfather. My mother was born on Christmas day and reputedly was the first child born to a crew members wife after the sinking. My grandmother nor my mother would talk about him and I really would like to...

Can someone let me know how hard it would be to create a 3-D reciprocating and turbine room fully off of engine room plans on CAD software? Is it possible to use CAD and get a good to great CGI look to the image ?

I know that the engine room in JC's Titanic was a full size reciprocating engine room from a small steamer, shrunk down using computer wizardry. It looks a lot like the engine room in the latest incarnation of King Kong.

Hi everybody! Could you tell me the exact dimensions (in metres) of Titanic's main engine room, and how many decks (from bottom to top deck) were occupied by engine departments?

Recently I've been studying the period of time during which the electric lights went dark in Titanic's engine rooms. Men were sent to fetch "lamps" from the engine room. From their testimonies, these appear to have been ordinary oil lamps of the type in common use at the time. Does anyone...

In a post to The Titanic Mailing List; in connection with the 24 April 1912 firemen's strike on the Olympic; Mark Baber advised: There are three watches in the Olympic. Each watch consists of fifty-five firemen, 24 trimmers, 8 greasers, and 5 leading firemen, so that altogether 276 men...

Whilst reading through Dave Bryceson's book "The Titanic Disaster" which lists newspaper reports in the British National press in 1912, I came across some strange reports... I realise that most newspaper reports at that time could, and should, be taken with a pinch of salt, but I wondered what...
