coal

Hello all, Was reading a bit the other day about the operation of liners serving as troopships/hospital ships in WW1, and a discussion came up about the possibility of sending them south around Cape Horn, then up along the east coast of Africa to reach the Central theatre. It was decided that...

Just got back from a Vegas trip and stayed in the Luxor where they have a Titanic Exhibit including the "Big Piece" of the hull. Had a happy hour at a Luxor's restaurant where some bargoers had visited the Exhibit and lots of Titanic conversations erupted with the fire being a popular topic...

Regarding the galley coal bunkers starboard and port on D Deck - these were replenished through their own coal ports (which I believe are shown in the drawing) rather than receiving coal in some manner from the supply taken on through the ports further below which fed the boiler room bunkers...

Where did this vent to? Assumedly it vented out the stacks, but how? If not, where? And did any passengers smell this?

Recently I posed an answer about "smoke" coming from the fourth funnel, in which I submitted that the funnel served as ventilation for the galley and some engineering spaces. I decided to research possible sources of exhaust steam and "smoke" that might make an appearance, and came upon a...

Does anyone know how trimmers could access the coal bunkers. I have studied the iron plans and I can’t find any obvious access other than through the coaling doors or through the bunker hatch at the stokehold level. There are trimmers holes on G deck but I don’t see any way of accessing G deck...

Hello everyone. Been reading this forum for years but that's my first post with new account after I lost previous one login details... Now to my question : P I'd like to buy this piece of coal from ebay. It claims to be from 2000 salvage and not related to RMS Titanic Inc. Any idea if it's...

I'm building a computer model of titanic and I'm trying to understand the layout of the upper boiler rooms and coal bunkers. I'm working off of the Bruce Beveridge schematic and some of the geometry is less clear here. 1. Above the boiler rooms, the room narrows, like a big square donut with...

I am quite sure the coal bunker fire must of been discussed many times over the years. But I can't find it at present. The question why I ask is looking at the IMMC rule 248: According to Rule No 248 of the IMMCo’s ‘Ship Rules and Uniform Regulations’ that was in force at the time: 248...

In the beginning of 1912, coal miners in Britain decided to go on strike because of how low they were being paid. As a result, many passenger ships were put out of service, and many passengers were forced to switch to the Titanic, which ending up costing them their lives. I assume that if the...

Hello everyone ! First of all thank you for the great memory work and the quality of your website. I deeply admire your work. I would like to write to you because I have a question concerning a small piece of coal presented as authentic and that I would like to acquire. Could i have your...

A few years ago I saw on eBay a very large piece of Titanic coal for sale with a wooden box. I wondered if anybody had any large pieces of coal and how much they would be? Thank you.

Hello I am looking to source documentary evidence about how/where the coal was acquired for the Titanic. Specifically I am trying to tie the coal back to the Rhondda Valley in Wales and in a perfect world to the Lewis Merthyr Collieries. Here's what I know so far (but I have not seen copies of...

Does anyone know what caused sparks and huge lumps of coal to shoot out of the funnels? It was witnessed during the break up when survivors heard several explosions. Was this caused by the compression or release in pressure of air when the ship broke and the bow and stern compressed down...

I've ben told that there was a fire in coal deposit nber 5 since the moment the ship departured from Cherburg. Could it add some damage to the structure in contact with cold water?.

I have two pieces of coal from the Titanic that I acquired from the exhibit "Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit" held at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle March 11, 2001. According to the COA, the coal was recovered during the 1994 expedition, Object #94/0036. I also have two exhibit entry...

If Im not putting this in the right place, Im sorry. I just went Engine Stuff + Coal Bunker = Logic? Also, I looked up coal bunker on the search and nothing like this question came up. Anyway, how the heck did the coal bunkers work? Was it just a giant storage room, full of coal, and...
