No message got tro to California
The Californian's wireless was turned off, and the wireless operator had gone to bed for the night. Just before he went to bed at around 11:00 PM the Californian's radio operator attempted to warn the Titanic that there was ice ahead, but he was cut off by an exhausted Jack Phillips, who snapped, "Shut up, shut up, I am busy". When the Californian's officers first saw the ship, they tried signalling it with their Morse lamp, but also never appeared to receive a response. Later,

wrong
right
Here are the right answer
you're good, 2 triple expansions with 4 cylinders
Engines - 2 reciprocating 4 cylinder direct drive inverted steam engines delivering 30,000 HP at 75 RPM for the 2 outside propellers, and 1 low pressure Parsons Turbine delivering 16,000 HP at 165 RPM for the center propeller. The Parsons was powered by excess steam from the other 2 engines. Titanic used 825 tonns off coal every day.

This is a point that keeps on re-appearing every so often. Whilst EJS was entitled to fly a blue ensign, it was flying a red ensign at the time- this is clearly stated in the memorial museum in sounthampton under the 'myths and legends of titanic'
I think describing the Nationality of the ship as US- as in your example above is a little misleading. Please have a look at www.companieshouse.gov.uk/archive and check whether white star line was a registered British company or registered US company.
For example (and I realise this may be hard for US to believe) but Britain owns several US companies- for example did you know that well over 2/3 of your kids school buses are operated by companies owned by Britain. Are these British companies par se? No. They are listed as US companies, under US law, with US workers and pay US taxes... but are owned by British companies.
Would you describe the Pride of Dover (example) as a British ship or an Arabic ship (DP ports?)
Or a better one- are half of US ports American or Arabic (DP ports again). I'm afraid that the concept of conventional Nationalism is a little more complicated than a simple yes/no.
Apologies to trains, or whoever it was, for this straying from Titanic... It was bound to happen sooner or later
Still no mention of Mar*ite though
EDIT: Are you sure EJS was an Admiral of the RNR... I don't actually think that is possible, but I'm not 100%. He was a Commodore (named after a make of computer ;) ) but that was a civilian rank.

Hi Tore,
I did read the top Wiki, which clearly states the WSL was American owned at the time of Titanic’s building:
"In 1902, the White Star Line was absorbed into the International Mercantile Marine Co. (IMM), a large American shipping conglomerate. By 1903, IMM had managed to absorb the American Line, Dominion Line, Atlantic Transport Line, Leyland Line, and Red Star Line. They also came to trade agreements with the German lines Hamburg-Amerika and Norddeutscher Lloyd. Bruce Ismay ceded control to IMM in the face of intense pressure from shareholders and J.P. Morgan, who threatened a rate war."

Marty

Hi Marty.
Noone will argue with you about this, but fact is that White Star Line was a British company and it would not make it American even if 100% of its shares was on American hands. That would only make it an American owned British Company.
Titanic was British.
-

It is really hard to tell from the picture, that Titanic's wheelhouse roof was deck planked and Olympic was not,
so I will just mention the the window pattern on the Shelter deck (forward of the private promenade) due to the added cabins on the Titanic.
-
I think its my question now

here is my question:
How much did each link in the Titanics anchor chain weigh in pounds? ???

Actually, I was looking for the fact that Titanic's wheelhouse is noticably wider, and just slightly narrower than Olympic's!
As for the new question, I don't know about the chains, but the anchors themselves weighed 15.5 tons each!

175 Pounds per chain. ;)

I got a question:
When the Titanic left port there was a fire blazing in Titanic's coal bunker. Which day into the voyage was it finally extinguished?
-
This is PURELY a guess. I think it's a trick question- with an answer that it never was (unless you count when it sank).
-
One of the wild theories was that it was the bunker fire that weakened her so that she sank after the collision. I believe the fire probably continued to smolder till after she reached the bottom.
Marty
-
One would have thought that any heat would have dissipated by the time the wreck hit the bottom. That water would have been cold.
Here's a Q for you. How LONG would it have taken to fall to the bottom.
-
Given the depth—about 2.5 miles—and the terminal velocity of objects like that in water, I’d estimate from 8 to 11 minutes.
Marty
Stu,
I think you are underestimating the heat capacity of a bunker of smoldering coal.
-
It was actually extinguished on the Saturday 13th April....or so I read
-
Time it took to hit the bottom...
Does that include the 2 hours and 40 minutes on the surface?
It was traveling at 20 knots going down to a spot 12,500 feet (about 2.5 miles) below the sea....
According to google calculator, that's 23.015589 mph....
Using the calculator again, it would take 0.102861771 hours, or just over 6 minutes for the BOW. The stern fell faster, as it fell almost vertical....
In all, I'd have to guess, oh, say, about 10 minutes of falling between the two pieces, giving the stern 4 minutes?
-

Marty
Stu,
I think you are underestimating the heat capacity of a bunker of smoldering coal.
I'd say that's a reasoable sort of figure. Although I was expecting an answer to the nearest 4 seconds, but it will have to do! ;D
Sorry- misunderstanding. It may well have been hot/warm at the bottom, but I take smouldering as a word that implies that it is still burning (smoke but no flame) which clearly it can't do in the absence of oxygen... Unless it trapped an air pocket of course.
Do you happen to know what the water pressure is at that depth?
-
Hello Stu,
Under 3750 m seawater dty 1.025 would mean 384 bar? But only a specialist of oceanographic surveys would know the mean density...
Luc
-
5569 p.s.i. then! Wow, that's impressive.
I managed to cut my hand by letting it get too close to a 3500 p.s.i. pressure washer. And to think some marine life can live quite happily at that depth!
-
Passengers pulled from the water during the sinking of the Royal Mail Streamer Titanic described the water as being like "a thousand knives being stuck into" them. In degrees fahrenheit (F), what tempurature was the water?

I doubt many of them interrupted their drowning and freezing to death to grab a thermometer.

'Titanic' and 'greatest ship in the world' are two mutually exclusive phrase... If you were right, then all ships would be replicas of Titanic...
OK, so you don't get upset- Which was the only wood found on Titanic that had not rotted away. (I give you a clue-it wasn't MDF from the bark of the MDF tree)
-
not sure. did they talk about it in Titanic's Akiles Heel? can't remember.
-
Well, in that case... you're going to have to research it and find out to keep your honour.
You don't need to research Titanic- just wood- think about what SORT of wood it would be... then start researching.
-
ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH! i knew it from history. i think the Egyptians used it for their boats. they were most advanced of their time. real smart. because of them, we know what we do today.
-
Everything we know today comes from ancient Egypt? ??? ;D
I'm not aware of the Egyptians using it, but I wouldn't swear to it.
-
most everything. boat building ideas was one. so your sig's wrong :P
-
I think that the ability to float boats (dugouts, coracles etc) happened all over the world at broadly the same time.
The Greeks had rather more extensive shipping experience than the Egyptians (though you'd never believe it judging by their 'modern' ferries).
As I said, my signature is spot on. I can't help it if reality is slow to catch up.
-
but where did the Greeks get the ideas. true the Greeks and Romans helped improve life into presnt day but they got ideas from Egyptians. beside i was talking about the wood they used for boats :P
-
The answer to my question was 18 degrees!
-
which idea of the break up seems more realilistc? A.) she reached about 30 degres and the presure on the hull was too great causing her to split. B.) she reached 11 degres, started to split, the water pulled her together, then at 30 degres, broke and bent into her self, the stern fell back, and sunk at about 40 degres.

ditto here, as there are two peices of Titanic's hull, making up 75 feet of the double bottom hull, bildge keel to bildge keel, upside down in a region east of the debris field
-
also, the upper decks are mangles and the bottom is cleanly cut, the opposite of what the 1985 theory's break up would have caused
-
if the stern went into the bow, it would be bent upward. but if she broke like in the movie, the top of the bow would be pulled down in the back. and those two parts of the hull prove what really?
-
Already answered:
http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,1331.msg73196.html#msg73196 (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,1331.msg73196.html#msg73196)
-
this: if something that long bends due to a structural failure like the 1985 movie, in this case, the bottom would be crushed and mangled due to compression, while the top would be cleanly cut because it is being pulled apart.
as you say, "and those two parts of the hull prove what really?"
let me answer that for you: JUST THE OPPOSITE
the break up was interrupted, by what? easy, the only part of the ship that had yet to fail, the double bottom.
-
but if the water pulled the ship down and that caused part of the break up, how can water pull the ship together? and how can she go into her self? at that angle, the stern would fall back. it can't just bend the opposite way if she has weight at the stern. it seems like in order to go into her self, an invisable force would either have to pull her forward or pushed at the bottom of the stern into the bow. if she broke like that, the rear of the bow would be pushed up, not down.
-
Trains,
What do you mean “go into herself� The bow and stern had more buoyancy than the midsection after it flooded through the crack. This caused the crack to close again as shown by the crushed edges at the top. The tensile stress on the double bottom finally snapped it.
The archeological evidence supports this, and the naval architects are in agreement that this is what happened.
You could spend some time reading the technical literature on Titanic rather than depending upon a motion picture for your understanding.

HI
the boilers did explode to, maybe that help little to break her in two also
The Hollywood movie was not authentic, fiction and action for make money, but it was a god film do
TJK
-
Smith. the theory your talking about was talked about on Titanics Akiles Heel. that theory suggest she broke into her self and then sunk.
-
It's ALSO the theory made by the guys at the History Channel in 2006 when they found 2 peices that didn't support the 1985 theory.
-
but it wasn't only the hull that failed. a second part failed. i'm sure it was talked about by those same discoverers. can't remember what part.
-
The aft expansion joint (probably what you were thinking of) began to fail, but the crack stopped at the only section of the ship that was still air-filled: the double bottom hull, sealed off from the rest of the ship, which failed under stress (it's hard to hold a 46,328 ton ship together!).

I think if you were to go to two far apart locations and research their ancestors- example 1) Vikings 2) Maoris you would find that they both discovered the idea of floating bits of wood for boats at about the same time- probably about 11pm one Saturday after a drunken night in a pub.

How many individual iron rivets were used in the construction of the hull (no including the superstructure).
It has been published, but answers to the neares 1000 will do

8,000 in each funnel...
4 funnels...

Well done... but that's the funnels, not the hull...

No, like I said... the HULL, not the superstructure. The funnels aren't normally on the hull (at least, not that can be seen externally of course!)

What is your source? How much do you regard as "whistles" of the arrangement?
Some figures: From base base of the branch to top of the center dome: 4 feet 2inch
Width across the outer bells: 3 feet 6 inch
Diameters of the 3 bells: 9 15 and 12 inches.
But I have not found any measurement of the bells and there were 3 different sizes.
