engines

I recently watched Oceanliner Design's video about the powerplant and was awestruck by the amount and quality of pictures he and his team managed to find. I also know from posts on this forum that high quality and high detail drawings like this exist of Britannics engine. Can anybody tell me the...

Apologies if this has been answered already. I did search but found no clear answer. The reciprocating and turbine engines were exceedingly heavy. The reciprocating engine bedplates weighed 195 tons, the columns 21 tons each, and the heaviest cylinder with liner 50 tons while the complete...

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...

I have been working on developing plans to model Titanic with the aid of a Laser cutter to make flat plates for walls and floors and bits and bobs. I started at the boat deck and am working my way down... It's a ton of work lol.. Oh well. Anyhoo.. currently working on C deck and specifically...

Was reading that Capt. Bartlett ordered for the portside engine to be driven at a higher speed than the starboard (due to the list to starboard). But do know what specific speeds they were? Thanks!

Olympic had a long career. Were the 2 Main Reciprocating Engine ever rebuilt during that time? Thx Andy Carter

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 the route the Engineers would take to get to the Main Engine Room and the Turbine Engine Room from the Boat Deck? Also where is the main entrance / Door to these Engine Rooms? Thank you Andy

Hi folks! I'm making decent progress on my 3D drawing of RMS Titanic, and I'm on to the Tank Top level. Side views show that the floor of the Tank Top level underneath the reciprocating engines is raised 12 inches, but no overhead views show the footprint of the raised area. Does it stay raised...

Did Titanic have the ability to reverse one screw to the other.. As in on the Port Round could Murdoch have gone full ahead Starboard screw and full reverse Port? - Hindsight is always 20-20

Given that the steam pressure supplied by the boilers was A psi and the two main engines were running full ahead. Q1: Would both engines get that A psi or would they get only a half of it ? Q2: Then they stopped one engine, would the pressure and speed of the other engine increase as a...

Does anyone happen to know the time it took for Titanic's reciprocating engines to go from a "Full Ahead" engine order to "Full Astern"? I KNOW that Titanic's engines were not reversed prior to the collision. My question is based solely around my curiosity of if the engine room crew were all...

the top one says -----Head, not sure what the bottom one says

Hi y'all. Hope you're having a good day. I've always been wondering how they managed to low and fit, or move the Engines, Boilers, and other machinery into her hull, while she was being constructed. Weren't the uptakes for the funnels too small? Cargo Hatches as well? And, it'd be pretty comical...

My interest in the Titanic goes back to when I was a child. I saw either Titanic(1953) or A Night to Remember and took an interest in the ship. I would ask my father questions about it and whenever I did that he would direct me to the library to go find out about it. This was in the early...

Hi all, After playing the sinking simulation on Britannic Patroness Of The Mediterranean I have a question if anyone is able to answer........ After it came clear that Britannic over shot the island of Kea why wasn't the starboard engine restarted to correct her course? (I have read a few...

After a bit of searching I've found a free online copy (complete) of Sennet & Oram's 'The Marine Steam Engine'. 6th Ed is published 1902 but covers the steam technology installed on Titanic (The Merchant Navy continues to this day to lag considerably behind new technologies!) The copyright has...

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.
