lighting

What was the point of the lights at the base of the funnels? They only light up a tiny portion of the entirety of it:

A question that I'm sure has puzzled many. Why did the lights go out in the boiler rooms after the collision? Well apparently a similar incident did occur on the Olympic in 1929 which caused some of her lights to fail as well due to the vibration of the ship. Perhaps the vibration of the...

All Titanic movies and paintings seem to have much added ambient light as if it's sinking towards the crack of dawn. Also, the lights on the ship appear to be a bit too bright and white. There are accounts of the Titanic ranging from "blazing with light" to it becoming almost impossible to see...

The survivors saw the Northern Lights appear after the Titanic sank, but before the Carpathia arrived. I have met former sailors who have seen the Northern Lights in the North Atlantic and they said it was so bright it was almost like daylight. Survivors said it was just like a "search light"...

Survivors saw the ship break in two between the 2nd and 3rd funnel. We don't know how clean the break was and how much of the bow was still connected to the stern, but one can guess that the lower decks were still connected to a degree and supplied power to the stern. I have also heard that...

Hey , I just wanted to know , since the cherub in the grand staircase was recovered , how about the candelabra on D Deck? Was it recovered , or is it still in the reception room wreck , waiting to be found?

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but I haven't seen it in the threads. Given that Titanic could see the lights of Californian during the sinking, and vice versa, and Californian could see Titanic's rockets, but couldn't make out the morse lamp.... Could Titanic have flashed ALL of...

It’s good to see that, in the feverish run-up to the 100th Anniversary, new theories are still appearing. But Senan Molony’s defence of his view that ‘Lifeboats from the Titanic extinguished their lights in order not to become attractive beacons for swimmers after the sinking’ is seriously...

Anybody know where the green lights of britannic were located at I can never picture in my mind what It looked like with those lights on at night probably like a UFO ha ha.

I read a witness testimony on the Titanic Inquiry project and it caught my attention. It is the following one: "Senator BOURNE. Hence, you assumed that she broke in two. The bow lights were extinguished, were they? Mr. BRIGHT. You could not see anything of them after that. Senator...

We know that 4 minutes after the attack the lights in the ship went out. Is there any description of this in the literature? Did they fail without warning or, more likely, progressively dull down before snuffing out? On consideration the turbines were winding down without the head of...

Are they still in place? I can't recall seeing any pictures of them still in place.

Because during the 'average' crossing passengers would most likely not be on deck during the peak of the night, would there have been less lights on during the collision as opposed to when passengers were ordered up on deck? Were there any additional lights they could turn on whilst the...

Hello there. Having read through a number of threads I was intrigued by David Brown's claims that Barrett’s testimony may be confused/wrong. I have read through the four men who were down in the boiler rooms (Cavell, Hendrickson, Barrett and Beauchamp) and am inclined to agree that there is...

How well was Titanic lit. Is the lighting accurate in movies like Titanic (1997)? Or would it of been darker? Would the Grand staircase, and the Dinning Saloon be darker then portrayed?

Hello everyone, I had a question about the lights on the Titanic. During its infamous sinking, is it likely that the lights flickered on and off, as portrayed by Cameron, or did they remain on until that last pivotal moment, when all the breakers failed? If this question is unanswerable, I...

There seems to be a lot of controversy over what angle the ship was at before it broke in two. Some people say it went as high as 45 degrees while others say it might have been as little as 11. Estimations seem to place the ship breaking up at about 2:18 a.m. with the lights finally going out...

I read in "The Cruelest Night" that the lights on the ship came back on as it was sinking. Does anyone know anything about this? Was it while the ship was on its way to the bottom? What could have caused it?
