[This is really about marketing, the one topic for which I couldn't find a sub-forum.] Could this poem be a contemporaneous comment on the Titanic's marketing or sinking? My interpretation is that it is an ironic boast of the trust placed in the infallibility of transportation engineers. "The...

there was report of seeing engineer with lost fingers and hand covered in blood,did it really happen? if so what could be reason,watertight door cut fingers or something wrong happened in one of boiler rooms that resulted in this kind injury?

My grandfather William Poole (1993-1957) worked on the building of the Titanic whilst an apprentice engineer at Harland & Wolff. I don’t think there are any surviving records of apprentices at Harland & Wolff of that period. After being in the Royal Engineers during WW1, he joined the Merchant...

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...

This popped up on my YT channel. Don't know if it has been posted before. I don't recall seeing it before. There were a few things I question but nothing major. It was entertaining IMO. It's a dramatized version of what the black gang did below decks so take it for what's it worth. I like the...

I have just written with an Estonian and he told me only one Estonian was onboard Titanic. He told me the name Hermann Rägastik and he should be a survivor and should have been 2nd engineering assistant which must be completely wrong. Here is a link to the Estonian wikipedia page Hermann...

I was watching the titanic behind the scenes and I saw what seems to be 2 men carrying an engineering officer in a bucket. I cannot find anything about this scene, it is not in the film or in any of the deleted scenes that I can find. Can somebody tell me what this scene is about?

I have a question for anyone who may read this. I was looking through the unidentified bodies page when I happened upon a engineers body. This is the discription: (73 Male - Estimated age, 35. Hair, dark. Buried at sea Handkerchief marked 'H. J.'; silver watch; engineer's uniform. Nothing else...

I can't figure out what kind of uniform the engineering officers were wearing. They had uniforms like deck officers?

I’m a great-nephew of Bertie Wilson, who was senior assistant second engineer. As a keen family historian, I’ve been collecting information about Bertie for some years, and hope to make contact via this forum with others who have a specific interest in this crew member, especially any of his...

Has any manifest survived of the number of and different kinds of tools provided for by the White Star Line for use by their engineering crews in an Olympic class ship's engine rooms, boiler rooms and dynamos ? Were the engineers and electricians allowed to bring their own personal tools aboard...

Hi everyone, I have repeatedly read that no engineers survived the sinking, however I have just seen a chart on wormstedt.com that states two survived, does anyone have any further information on this please?

Hi, I was just wondering where these people slept because I can't find these people's cabins anywhere and I am making a document for every crew member and passenger that includes where they slept. These are problems. *There seems to be 7 Quartermasters, and the only cabin I find for them is on...

I wasn't sure where to post this as this is old news but new to me,i never knew he died in 2000 due to a parachuting accident. If only he waited an hour or so someone would have rescued him.so sad.

I was wondering about the Engine crew... Their ranks seem quite complicated. Here is what I found on the crew list: - Chief Engineer - Senior Second Engineer - Senior Assistant Second Engineer - Junior Second Engineer - 2 Junior Assistant Second Engineers - Senior Third Engineer - Senior...

I’m an enthusiast in naval history, and I’m also interested in the history of the Titanic. One of the things that puzzled me was the fate of the ship’s engineers. It was said that they had went down with the ship, but from some testimonies (mostly Frederick William Scott and Thomas Patrick...

I am very much interested by life and labour of Black gang on Titanic. Please, help me with the answers to the following questions. Thank you! 1. It is known about Black gang monthly rates. But how there was an account, upon trip completion or on daily basis? Whether they could be discharge...

May I just take a moment to recall those Engineers and Other Engine Room Staff Who were lost. Some 35 Engineers ALL lost, they must have all stayed below right to the end. This link relates the feelings of the day. Marine Engineer Alex

Hi, I am looking for relatives of the late Mr. Robert H. Fleming. Mr. Fleming became during his White Star Line career Chief Engineer of both the Olympic and the second Britannic. In 1917 he retired after 35 years of service for the WSL and died at the age of 67 in June 1925 in Southampton...
