I never liked the Titanic swimming pool and room. I find it disturbs me. Not sure exactly why, but it does. Great that you pointed out the "rolling" problem. I don't think like a "Sea Person", so I had never even thought of such a thing! I am very interested in the old steamers and "the golden age of passenger liners", but when I am on solid dry land. I was forever traumatized as a kid when I saw "A Night to Remember". I don't do boats. Great show!

I agree. And I feel similarly about the Queen Mary's pool too. Something about them is just eerie. Maybe it's the fact that they're indoors? And not just indoors, but deep in the bowels of the ship?

I think as shipboard swimming pools were still in their infancy, it was enough to have steps, a handrail and water to swim in. On QE2, the pools were more lavish but there were no portholes and the water was salt. On today’s ships, there is always lots of light and fresh, chlorinated water. Salt water is clean and good for the skin but you can feel a bit crusty afterwards. I think the Titanic/Olympic passengers were most impressed - well, those who swam as it was not a common sport then.

I would love to know when the pool area flooded on titanic an how it might have looked in the sinking I seen a lot of sinking videos of titanic in different places but never the pool area

I believe I'm right in saying that the swimming pool was sealed off by the closing of the water tight doors as the last sailor left the area, meaning it was entirely contained when the ship sank. I wonder how well it may be preserved. The portholes would have blown at some point, but they would be the point of ingress for marine life, and I think they're submerged.

I wonder what condition the pool is in, since it’s so bare I’m sure it’s still very close to what it was other than the rusticles and debris filling the pool basin and covering the floors. Perhaps the upper part of the basin still shiny but since the portholes are too covered in muck from the inside to check, it’s a tough call, unless the metal rusts away enough to peek in.

I like swimming in pools so the Olympic Class Liners pools are my favorite rooms (BC I like pools)

An astonishing fact: Titanic's swimming pool is still full to this day.

Knowone actually knows for sure what the swiming bath looked like on the Titanic since the only pictures ever taken was from the Olympic. The Titanic swiming bath may have looked like the Britannic since the Titanic was actually made after the Olympic.

@thehistoryconisseur1154

Probably due to the conditions Post-WW1. Olympic was already very popular in her own right so I guess that they must have thought that spending money to refurbish the swimming bath was pointless. Also, Majestic had a pretty nice pool. She was also the largest ship in the world until 1935 and as a result most people would have been drawn more to Majestic as she was larger and newer so they probably didn't need to fix the pool on Olympic

They were built so well, to this day, the one on Titanic still has water in it.

With thes weird legacy Units it is rather complicated to imagine the dimensions. Commonly used Units like Meters und Liters would help to understand the dimensions much better in at least 99% of the countries using KZread.

@TheGreatBigMove

11 ай бұрын

It may be so that 99% of the countries which have access to KZread use the metric system. However, more than 50% of my audience is from countries which use the imperial system primarily. Using both systems would be far too cumbersome for a channel which discusses sizes and distances frequently. Therefore, I decided a long time ago to choose one system and I chose the one which my audience primarily uses (and which most of my sources use). No matter what my decision was on this matter, there were going to be drawbacks. Sometimes you have to pick your poison.
