    Green and Cream Wheelhouse Tiles in 1911?

    Hi! Recently I heard that Olympic possibly had Green and Cream tiles in her wheelhouse, instead of Red and Cream like Britannic and Titanic had. Is this true? I photos of Olympic , at least that I've seen, I've never seen it appear to be green. Are there any photos or documents of this? Thanks!

    Wheelhouse Wing Staircase

    Anyone know if there's a good picture (doesn't have to be a photo) anywhere of what the staircases on either side of the bridge that go down to the Promenade Deck looked like?

    Wheelhouse and Forebridge

    Fleet's phone message was received by Moody in the wheelhouse. How exactly did Moody communicate with Murdoch on the forebridge - by shouting (through a voice-tube), by telephone, or by rushing round to the forebridge as I believe he does in Cameron's film? And how exactly did Murdoch convey his...

    Wheelhouse vs bridge

    In addition to what I just said there are some basic passenger handling philosophies that are contained there in. For instance not to many would want to dropped into the ocean from up to 70 feet above the water. Children could be killed in the seats. Launching and lowering would take longer...

    Wheelhouse

    I'm new to ET and have a question regarding the helm of the ship. I quote from the testimony of helmsman Robert Hitchens, who was at the wheel at the time of the collision. Relating to Senator Smith the events of the evening of the disaster, he states at one point, when telling of the time of...
