[QUOTE="David G. Brown, post: 41911, member: 136775"] Not to throw a monkey wrench into the works, but do we know that Titanic's propellers were, in fact, the same pitch as Olympic's props? It is a stunt among ferry boat operators to up the pitch a bit on an early run...load the boat with minimum fuel...keep the passenger load down...and make a high-speed run for publicity. The props are then removed and re-pitched for normal operation. Not that I'm suggesting that Ismay would have been up to such shenannigans... -- David G. Brown [/QUOTE]

In which year did the Titanic sail?
