lighting

Recently, members of the Titanic research community discovered discrepancies in the conventional wisdom arrangement of skid lights on Titanic's officer's quarters. They then set about to make corrections and revisions to the former conventional wisdom. Their work has produced results of a...

i have 3 big questions about electrical system function after collision. 1. what caused the breakers tripping so forward boiler rooms were engulfed in darkness? how they solved this problem? did power go out in few/couple cabins aswel at time of the boiler rooms losing lights?. 2. did...

Hello everyone! :) I`m gonna build Titanic Academy 1/400 and I wanna make it as much accurate as I can. At least I`ll try! :) Please, can you tell me the size of the lights/ceilings (rounded in red on attached pictures from Honor and Glory)? I guess they are the same size with the ones in the...

What would have taken place if the lights of the Californian had not been on the horizon that night? Do you think that distress rockets would still have been sent up from Titanic's bridge anyway in such a scenario?

Hello, I have a question regarding the reading and writing room lights, in particular, the “electrolier” lights manufacturer by Perry & Co. What are the dimensions of these lights and what made them special? Many thanks,

Hello all, Can anyone please explain the general background of the red lights on the Titanic, I have a few questions 1. Were the lights turned on during the sinking? 2. Where were the red lights located 3. How were the powered did they have their own dynamo room or were they just connected to...

I was wondering two things other than lights coming from promenade decks and portholes what other exterior lighting did Titanic have? I was also wondering what the Titanic would have looked like to the Californian at different points in the sinking both with and without binoculars I don't know...

I know that there is a thread with a similar title but mine here is related the Third Class passenger areas only and on all nights, even though there is onus on that fateful Sunday. At what time did the Third Class stewards start putting lights out in passenger spaces and how widespread were...

I've wondered this question for years. Why was a strong headlight not used on ships at the time or ever since.

No, not just before the breakup... before that. 1. The trimmers and stokers all refer to the boiler room lights going out for (about) 10 minutes or so (At least in BR 4, 5, 6) just after the collision itself. One of them thought the engineers were "changing the lights over" to some other...

Hello, so I am searching for a real-time sinking of the Titanic but the color was corrected for how it would have appeared that night, the issue is I can't find/remember who posted it or where it was published, this was a year ago or two at this point. from the details, I can recall I thought it...

Hello, could somebody please identify the lights of this ship. Thank you.

Whist on the subject of lights. There seems some confusion how far one can see the Titanic lights in miles on a clear night. Can some one tell me of the following in miles: Morse lamp, mask lights, side lights and passenger lights?

I would think so. Technology has changed so much in the past century. On another note, James Cameron found out when he was making the movie replica that the Grand Staircase was small by today's standards. The average human body has gotten bigger since 1912.

Why did the glassy dome of the grand staircase and some windows in the first class dining room shining?

From what I have read on this site regarding bridge lighting, it's apparent that very dim white lighting was used in the wheel house. I'm curious as to when red light was introduced on ships. Obviously it would not be usable on the bridge as reflections from the bridge windows would occur. But...

I've not been able to find any information on the topic of when Britannic's lights went out/electrical system failed during the sinking.

Hi everybody, If I am to answer my own question, I would have said that it was this ship sighted by the Carpathia about 3.15am on 15/4/12. Even, if his time is wrong, I still do not understand what ship it could have been. What say you?

I want to know... does anyone have any idea how many lights were on while the Titanic sank?
