propellers

For my birthday years ago, I received a Titanic model that actually sinks and breaks in two, but I am facing a dilemma, because as time went on, I lost two funnels and the two side propellers. I was curious if anyone has any extra funnels or propellers. Is it possible someone could make two new...

Greetings all, I am a long time avid amateur Titanic historian. Well, not really, I do gobble up books on the subject but retain much less than I would like. In any regard, I was having a conversation with a friend, and fellow Titanic buff the other night about the centennial, which quickly...

Are they still around or were they just scrapped aswell? I've heard the wheel house still exists.

One question... To drop a propeller blade was such a common accident those days for an ocean liner? How was that possible if the screws were massive structures?

hey there, I've recently lost the center propeller and I've been tipping my room upside down and sadly, there's no luck... it must have been sucked into the vacuum cleaner... sigh... I was wondering if anyone would know where I can find a replacement? I truly need that center propeller... my...

Hi Mark Just read your article on the Titanic's central propeller , was very interesting. When I was at Belfast, PRONI were extremely helpful and patient supplying stuff but a few things are still held by Harland & Wolff themselves and you needed there permission to examine them. Was curious...

Does anyone know if anyone in boat 2 saw the propellers breaking the water's surface as they rowed around the Titanic's stern? I am sure I read it somewhere (probably not Boxhall's testimony) but I can't find it now. Best wishes Paul

I am doing a assesment and need to find a web site witch tells me what the size of the Propeller Shaft on the Inboard Port engine of the ss titanic is. Any help would be very appreciated thankz....

The orders from the bridge were to run the engines full astern thats what most believe. I do not know if this has been mentioned before but wouldn't the vibration the outboard propellers running at full speed in reverse have caused a very bad vibration simply because of the direction they were...

If it was so common for ships to loose their propeller blades, I bet that the ocean floor is ''filled'' with such items! An apparently, if they do not rust away we will have them for many many years! I wonder, is it still common for modern propellers to loose their blades? Drop your...

This is one of my rare visits to this section of the main forum. Out of purely amateur curiosity, could anyone briefly note the specifics of Lusitania's propellers -- I understand that they were changed several times between 1907 and 1914. Any help offered would be appreciated (AHOWBMA). Thanks...

It's been a long time since I posted something and am not sure if I'm doing this correctly, or in the right catagory/thread. But here goes -- to the "tech/design/construction" message board: I feel like an idiot having to send this. After looking through many books and failing to find what I...

Hey i was just wondering, according to survivors who were on the stern such as the baker is it true that a man jumped off the stern of the titanic and hit the propeller on the way down or is that something cameron just decided to add in there? thanks

Titanic Memorial and Triple screw blades Hello to everybody, I had one idea for a Titanic Memorial that I would like to discuss with you. From what I have seen in pictures, the Main triple screw blade propellers of the Titanic, are still in quite good shape...

I'm not that knowledgable on the actual props and how they were joined to the ship. I'm imagining the shaft going through the wing and ending at the propeller, but how did the hull and propeller join? Obviously the phisical propeller didn't attach to the hull, but that would mean that there was...

Hello Andrew: I just wanted to pass this along: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/society/ngo/explorer/titanic/6.html It is a smaller version of the photograph Mr. Kristof sent me. Of course Kristof is in the MIR 1 capturing the image. He also signed the photo in the area of a...

What happened to the propeller cones, evident on the construction plans and photographs, but not seen on the wreck pictures. Were they ever found on the debris field.
