    History of Turkish bath on the liners

    Hello, everyone. I wonder that which is the first ocean liner that installed Turkish bath onboard? I merely know that RMS Adriatic had one, but I'm not sure whether she was the first ship. THX.

    Turkish Bath/Electric Bath exploration

    I've been watching a fascinating half hour long archive of Cameron's exploration of the Turkish Bath cooling room and I noticed several details in it I'm curious about: At some point, Cameron attempts to see light from one of his Mirs to shine through the portholes of the cooling room. While...

    Turkish Bath complex redesign

    I've been considering new ways the Turkish Bath complex could be reconfigured. The Olympic's cooling room was a showpiece that got rather compromised on Titanic in favour of logistics and accessibility - which really is what counts in the end, but I wonder if there was a way to have still made...

    Turkish bath portholes

    It's curious to me how the Titanic resolved the aesthetic look of the portholes in the Turkish bath, given the room's layout was different from the Olympic. Obviously on the Olympic, " The portholes are concealed by an elaborately carved Cairo curtain, through which the light fitfully reveals...

    Flooding of the Turkish bath complex (pipes, taps, grids/drains, etc)

    Hi, I am just wondering about the flooding of the Turkish bath area of the ship if anybody can help? I have read from excellent research, that water descended down the steps of the first class stairway leading to this complex from the first class E-deck corridor...'trickling' I believe the...

    Turkish Baths, Squash Court, and Swimming Pool never seen in movies

    I've noticed that in every Titanic movie ever made, there's never been scenes set in the Turkish Baths, squash court, and the swimming pool, which were some of the Titanic's most notable public amenities. Is this because they would be too expensive to recreate on screen?

    Going to the swimming bath & Turkish Bath

    Hello all, I have been a Titanic fan for many years, and had this question in my brain for a while and wondered if anyone could answer it. Today on a cruise you can just put you bathing suit/bikini on and a towel and head to the pool. On Titanic and in 1912 society people didn't just walk...

    Turkish baths attendants attire

    Hi everyone, I have always wondered what the required attire was for Titanic's Turkish baths attendants. Considering that there were hot rooms and steam rooms, surely the attendants must have been incredibly hot and bothered at times! Did they wear all white garments that were loose? With...

    Date of rearrangement of the Turkish Baths' Cooling Room and order of the paneling

    I was wondering whether the paneling and most specifically the tiled panels were ordered at the same as those of the Olympic; and thus before the changes were made to the Titanic 's Turkish Baths complex. On the Titanic photograph of the Cooling Room and videos of the wreck the panels of...

    Turkish Bath Cooling Room

    Any reason why they changed the positioning of the Titanic's Turkish Bath Cooling Room from starboard to center? I dare I say I find the Olympic's bath more appealing. Having it central with the portholes leading out into the complex corridor is a tad too claustrophobic for my tastes.

    Turkish Bath Tiles

    There is a seller on eBay claiming to be selling pieces of tiles identical to those used in Titanic's turkish bath. According to the auction, the tiles on Titanic were designed by John Chambers of Pilkington, England and looked like this: Of course this seller is only selling broken...

    New Titanic Debris Field Found Grand Staircase Turkish Bath A La Carte Restaurant

    For better or for worse, a recent expedition by R.M.S. Titanic Inc. found a new field of debris just south of the Titanic's stern and salvaged some 75 artifacts before returning. "The field contained mostly remnants of the ship’s first-class A La Carte Restaurant, including the champagne...

    Massages in the Turkish Bath

    I was wondering if anyone knew where the massages in the Turkish Baths were actually done. I would assume that they would not have used those low couches in the Cooling room as it would have wrecked the practitioners back(Having done a Massage course they were always telling us off for bad...

    Turkish Bath

    I was reading the account of the 2001 dive by Ken Marschall and he recalls how they were just feet away from the Turkish Bath, a room he felt would have been one of the most well preserved on the ship, then they were called up because of an incoming storm. It was obviously a major...
