engine room

I am posting this here because the engine room of this ship is relevant to the Titanic as it is a reduced size version of the Olympic class propulsion system, was started between the Olympic and the Titanic's launch dates and so makes a good example of H&W's style at that time. On WANTED ON...

Hi there, I'm currently building a Titanic model in 1:200 scale which includes a detailed (even if approximate and far from being precise) reproduction of the engine room. There are many secondary devices which I can't identify. I studied the engine room plans and found out a lot of answers...

I'm having a tough time trying to find any detailed plans on the arrangement of the catwalks for both the reciprocating engine room and for the turbine engine room. I'd like to be able to trace the paths to such spaces as the engineer's workshop and the paint stores compartment - both of which...

Hi All, I'm doing some research on the pumping systems of the ship. I read Leading Fireman Frederick Barrett's British Testimony, and he said this: 2024. Then what was the next order? - He asked me to lift the manhole plate off. 2025. Where was the manhole plate? - On the starboard side of...

Does anyone know of an overhead view, preferably color, image of Titanic’s engine room? I am building a detailed kit and want to put the image below decks under the tank room for some added realism. I’ve seen som amazing computer renderings, just not from overhead. Thanks.

Yes, yes, I know the title is childish but bare with me a moment. :p In two recreations now - Cameron's interpretation and Titanic: Honor and Glory's real-time sinking video - I've noticed a recurring trend... The Titanic, or rather her engines, sound like a Train. Now, as much as I may love...

So I've been caught between three rather fascinating theories here folks. We all remember the gentlemen from Cameron's film who was down in the engine room towards the end of the film, right? Upon trying to flip one of the switches back on (I'm assuming it was exposed somewhere) he is...

For you engineers. I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. When the California stopped for the night and around the time when the rockets were observed what state would the California's boilers have been in? Hypothetically if the radio operator was awoken after the rockets were...

Quite a number of survivors stated the engines stopped suddenly. Others felt a long vibration and thought they were going full astern. Was it possible that the engines did stop suddenly by pulling a lever (as shown in Cameron's Titanic) and would this create an enormous cavitation which...

I have two questions abaut telegraphs orders from bridge. 1. When someone ring STOP to engine room, from the bridge, did engine room and boiler rooms get this order at the same time, or only to engine room and they must pass this order to boiler rooms? 2. How much seconds take pass any order...

Hello, this is my first post here. Thank you for allowing me to participate in your forum. I've spent the last year or so working with the good folks at Titianic-Model.com to create certain technical areas of the Olympic class ships in 3D computer graphics. Certain people were super helpful but...

When the Olympic was being repaired in Belfast following her collision with HMS Hawke the Belfast Newsletter said: 'Operations were carried out night and day, in order that the vessel might be ready to resume her place in the White Star fleet at the earliest possible day. It was necessary to...

For the last 20 minutes of the tragic disaster, and about the Morse code messages sent to nearby ships on April 15th 1912. The last few messages sent to the nearby ships were as follows: "CQD, SOS. MGY (titanic) to all stations. Engine room flooded up to the boilers" And: "CQD, SOS. MGY to all...

Curious to know if the Titanic suffered the same defects as the Olympic twenty years later when serious fractures were discovered inside the Olympic's engine room. At first they thought it was minor and the Olympic would only miss one voyage, but then they discovered it was very serious and...

Looking at the Encyclopedia Titanica blueprints, it seems like the boilers are on the Orlop Deck and the Engine and Turbine room is on the Tank Top Deck. However, I was told the boiler rooms and the engine and turbine room are all on the Tank Top Deck. Who is right, or am I just reading the...

What is meant by engine room casing in the blueprints. It goes all the way from the boat deck down to the engine room.
