weight

I've been viewing Murdochs images, I am wondering what did he weigh? He seems very slim in his images, like he could be under weight slightly.? I'm aware the officers wrote down information when they signed on, such as - height, eye and hair colour, tattoos but I don't recall any weight...

What did the Titanic weigh?

Could the floors have collapsed owing to the weight of water entering some of the rooms and allowed the water to take an alternative path throughout the ship? e.g. Water spilling up E-deck and causing floors to collapse further aft, or water rushing in through open portholes and causing...

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...

A "What If" scenario... It's aways been stated that Titanic could stay afloat with any 4 compartments and had the iceberg only breached the front 4, she would have floated and the only damage would be some lost Cargo and some very angry 3rd Class Passengers and Crew. However, would the weight...

A cry for help: does anybody know what is the weight of the Titanic's gangway door - one of these from D or E Deck?? I know the size (187 x 143 cm) since one of them was successfully recovered, but not the weight, unfort.... Would be immensely thankful at least for any suggesting!

Possibly a ex-serviceman-such as a cavalryman? 150 pounds weight be just about right for this branch of service? Or prehaps a Batman {servant} possibly a gentleman's valet?

I was just wondering if there were many cases of anorexia (nervosa) and bulimia in the beginning of the century... I know that Empress Elizabeth (Sissi) of Austria was 47 kg at the time of her death in 1898, by assassination, and she was 60!! Apparently she used strange methods to achieve her...

I recently heard that James Cameron built his Grand Staircase larger than the original so it was in proper porportion, as people "are larger" today than in 1912. Does anyone know what the average height & weight would have been for man and woman in 1912?

I've seen the $420K manifest list but it doesn't give any total weight for the im/exports, anybody got that? And would it prudent to say that the maritime insurance companies (for the cargo not the ship) would charge less to customers using Titanic because of the "unsinkable"

Hello all, been gone a while and need some definite opinion or solid fact (granted the latter is rare when it comes to Titanic) concerning the weight of the anchors. I had thought that the forwards weighed between 7-9 tons whereas the centre weighed in at 17.5 tons. Recently I heard a...

Please could someone let me know the weight of the whole ship without passengers. Thanx, Robyn

Hi again. Just recently reread Walter Lord's "A Night to Remember" for the first time in quite a while, and there was an incident mentioned therein that I recall being mentioned nowhere else. Lord states that at one point the passengers (and perhaps crew, as well) were ordered to go over to...

There are two methods used to calculate a ship’s weight: (1) Volume of water displaced (35 cubic feet of displacement = 1 ton). (2) Enclosed space (100 cubic feet = 1 ton). The six different ways in which one can express a ship’s weight are as follows: Net Register: Capacity of...
