funnels

Someone else gave me this idea on a different forum. The funnel cavity leading to the boilers would have been one of few partially enclosed space where likely around 100+ people died. So there would be a chance of seeing a lot of personal artifacts in there. However, it could arguably be...

Hello, watching the on a sea of glass and honor and glory animation to compare them, I reccall honor and glory depicted the break up with the funnel still in place while on a sea of glass, I wonder where that difference of depiction come from. Wouldn't it be logical for the 4th funnel to fall...

Hello all, I am wondering how high the Nomadic was from keel to funnel Regards,

What colour were the Titanic's funnels?

Pretty straight forward question here. I've got the overall dimensions of the funnels but I can't find listed what thickness steel they were made of. Curious to know if it is light enough to be considered sheet metal. ~Cheers

Never noticed this before but it looks like Titanic’s funnel 1 and 2 get some sort of treatment while docked in Southampton. It reminded me of this photo (not Titanic): Optical illusion or were Titanic’s funnels indeed cleaned, painted or something else in Southampton? And if so, do you...

I recently rewatched James Cameron's titanic and I noticed that the second funnel never falls. In some Scenes, you can see the top of the funnel in the water. Does anyone know If It Fell In The Movie Or Not??

Recently I posed an answer about "smoke" coming from the fourth funnel, in which I submitted that the funnel served as ventilation for the galley and some engineering spaces. I decided to research possible sources of exhaust steam and "smoke" that might make an appearance, and came upon a...

I came across a curious notation while browsing the R.J. Welch Harland & Wolff Collection on the NMNI.com site recently. The following photo appears to show chalk markings on the aft starboard side of funnel #4 indicating the extents of a “Door Cut” to be added, or at least studied, while still...

Hi, I hope this is the best pace to post this. I'm interested in any information confirming or denying the existence of a forward-facing window that may or may not have existed in a storage room(?) just port of the 3rd funnel. I have indicated this location with a red circle, opposite from...

Hey, everyone! This is the second article I'm writing for this Encyclopedia so once again, I apologize if it's in the wrong section. I was recently reading Peter Davis-Garnier's "RMS Titanic: A Modelmaker's Manual", and in that book, it is stated that the "White Star buff" colour was sometimes...

Hi y'all! I wanted to make a thread for the Forward Tower section since there doesn't seem to be one for both and for photos of the sections. So I made one. First Off, wondering whether this is indeed the Third Funnel, Was watching some NOAA 2003 footage ( at 12:07) and saw these pipes, which...

Jack Thayer jumped from the ship at 2:15, that is also the same time the first funnel fell. Jack said he heard a deep below within the ship and that it sounded like breaking china. That is what other survivors said the first funnel sounded like when it fell. But Thayer never specifically said...

Why were Britannic's funnels painted yellow? Britannic was launched before WW1 so I'm confused as to why they took the black off in favor of yellow, it doesn't really make anything different so can someone clarify this for me.

There is photo evidence that Titanic’s funnel #2 was installed first. There is also photo evidence that funnel #4 was installed last. Does anybody know of any Titanic photo with only two funnels installed? Without that evidence, it appears that the order of installation could either have been...

which one? Im open to persuasion

Reviewing the deck plans, specifically the boat deck, I became curious about the section between the char/pilot rooms and officer's lavatory. Specifically, the Nos 5&6 Boiler Casing, Fidelity, and Trunk|Vent portions. I have tried searching for those terms but am unable to get much information...

If the popular theory that the first funnel collapsed due to the water pressure on the outside of the structure, would it be probable that the cylindrical figures would pancake in on themselves as they fell?

I want to know because in the james cameron movie,the second funnel doesn't to fall before the breaking or in the honor and glory animation,it's acutally broke down so what happened? thanks for your answer!

Dear ET, I was hoping some of the Empress experts among you could help me out. I was wondering about the paintscheme of her funnels at the time of her sinking. I have variously seen the ship depicted as having funnels painted in all 'buff', as in the liners of Norddeutscher Lloyd, or with the...
