    A question on how accurate archibald gracie account is

    Hello, I ask how accurate it is since I might read it at some point. Obviously since it's from soon after the sinking, there can be some dated things tho it can be interesting for me to see what a survivor say on the sinking and titanic books also have a tendency to reference his work. Thanks...

    Question Odd question? After Titanic and her mail cargo was lost did she lose her designation of "RMS"?

    When Titanic was lost, did she lose her RMS designation? I know ships could lose and regain this designation for various reasons, and I would assume loss of mail would be one. This was something I always wondered about but was scared to ask. LOL

    Question Question about feature on the superstructure

    Hi, I was just curious as to what the feature on the forward straboard superstructure was used for? It’s just beneath the bridge wings. It appears like a wooden board of some sort. I thought it was something to do with the coal bunker rigging but could be wrong ?

    Bed styles on the D and E Deck cabins?

    I've seen a thread which shows the style of beds and panelling in the A, B and C Deck cabins, however I haven't seen any info on the D and E Deck cabins ( For E-Deck so far I've only seen Molly Brown's cabin which has a brass bed ) So, which bed style was on the D and E Deck cabins?

    Color Question.

    Does anyone here know what was the correct shade of the hull colors that the ship would have actually been painted in? I'm asking because i did a color test using the colors from Bob Read's color guide for the Olympic class: I'm just asking because this is too desaturated and bleached...

    Olympic's Hinged Windows

    Recently, whilst browsing eBay for artifacts recovered from the ‘Old Reliable,‘ I came across an example of the ship’s arched windows. An interesting aspect of it, though, was that its upper portion was hinged from the bottom and it was clearly able to be opened. In addition, its topmost frame...

    Gantry Davits on other ships

    Hello there, this is my first post. but anyways. After the Britannic sank and showed the advantages of Gantry davits, why didn't other ships employ them? they were clearly effective, the only other ships I remember having such was the Windsor Castle (and her sister ship) , and it only had two...

    What’s this thing underneath the windows of the A Deck Promenade?

    Hello! So I’ve been interested in the Titanic for about 12 years and I’m still learning and I still have questions, but recently every time I see a model or picture I can’t help but notice that right underneath the windows of the A Deck promenade there are these things that look a bit like an...

    "On a Sea of Glass" photo

    I had a quick question regarding a photo in "On a Sea of Glass" On page 24, beneath this photo: reads a caption, in part: The ship's name was written in after the photograph was taken, and inaccurately at that." Why is it inaccurate?
