Titanic's Centre Propeller: The Stephen Pigott Evidence
Newly found evidence documents changes to Titanic’s propeller configuration
Point taken Mark. Thanks again for the good work.Thanks for your very kind comments. I'm pleased the article was of interest.
Mike, the section of the article you allude to is simply looking at Harland & Wolff's completed ships with combination machinery, for both White Star and other owners. Ships built by other builders were excluded from the analysis.
Best wishes
I think it was the general practice to prevent them from spinning once the ship hit the water.Hi Mark,
Whilst on the subject of propellers. Can you give me a reason why H&W did not fit the propellers when on the slipway?
Or was the general practice of H&W not to so.

Something interesting, the 1997 movie shows a Four bladed prop. Although, this isn’t their fault, since the movie is based on what evidence they had at the time.View attachment 72832

It’ll be no use, there’s no reasoning with the Switch theorists, for example.The question should be put to all those who claim that Titanic had a 4-laded center prop to show on what historical basis does such a claim depend on.
Because both her sister ships had 4 bladed center props? Not disputing Mr. Chirnside's work on this. He's done excellent research on the subject and knows way more about it than me and most others. But until a definitive photo is found the only way to be sure is for someone to go clean out the mud and look or possibly use a mud (ground) penetrating radar. Both expensive endeavors.The question should be put to all those who claim that Titanic had a 4-laded center prop to show on what historical basis does such a claim depend on.
