Pictures provided by Atlanticliners.com. Here is a photo of the Olympic's boat deck around 1912. Assuming that the Titanic had a similar design, does anyone know what these items are?



A railing surrounding two strange objects?

And are these pieces of equipment?

Cheers if you know what they are.
