RMS Titanic: Fascinating Engineering Facts

Ғылым және технология

Bill shares fascinating images and information gleaned from the 1909 to 1911 editions of the Journal The Engineer. It includes photos of the construction of the Titanic and its twin the Olympic, the launching of these Olympic-class ships, and accidents that occurred. The video includes engineering details of the ship’s engines, steering mechanism, and propellers.

    I mean... Very few videos are going in with a focus not on the Titanic and its journey, but on the hardware that powered it. Most videos are focusing on the sinking, the design of its hull, the experience onboard on that fateful night.

    I worked as a shipyard carpenter in the 1970's and 1980's. Shipyard work is dirty, dangerous and fascinating! Imagine crawling in tight bilge spaces and ballast tanks, etc. I worked for General Dynamics Electric Boat Division, EB from 1977-1980 and Southwest Marine 1980-1981. Both were exclusively doing work for the US Navy. At EB, several workers were killed during my time there, an electrician was electrocuted because his helper didn't read the warning tag not to turn on components they were working on. Another guy was speared by an steel ladder that was inadvertently picked up by a crane moving down the dock tracks. A third guy was testing an 'escape trunk' with a spring loaded hatch that accidentally slammed shut on his head, and several guys died due to falls and objects falling on them from the heights of the boat while on the 'ways'. On working holidays, like Christmas eve and New Years eve, many workers would bring in alcohol and sip blackberry brandy with workmates as they pretended to be busily working. Lunch was an amazing experience. You had just thirty minutes to eat/drink and when the whistle blew and the huge main gates swung open, 7,000 guys would come pouring out onto the road bordering the yard. Many bars were ready and waiting across the street. If you walked into one, you'd see that the bar tenders had prepared hundreds of whiskey shots lined up and mugs of beer. There were also 'roach coaches' lining the street where you could buy pretty good food and a beer or two. I used to buy these hot pastrami sandwiches or this pepper steak. Usually, I'd wash it down with a tall Budweiser, or two if it was hot during summer. I learned a lot about life in those shipyards, the most important being that I didn't want to do this type of work anymore. I made a whopping $6.60/hour at EB and $10/hour at Southwest Marine.

When divers went to the wreck, they founded the registration number on Titanic, that number was 401! Years before in 1935 when Olympic was being scrapped, the registration number was found to be registered as 400, which was her number when her hull was being constructed long before both ships had even hit the water.

Pop in borderlines and basic shapes (e.g. circles of the propshaft bosses)... it can be told the edge-on angle the circle is being viewed from and the circle will become an elipse. Draw a part in plan, view, and elevation and it can be rotated, translated, and scaled any way you need it in various perspective ("solid") views. Then set a colour and transparency to the layer you've drawn. I'm sure it does much more than that now... it's been about 25 years since I did very rudimentary work with it.

I also think it's interesting that the Olympic had a full life and ran successfully for a quarter of a century, I think with the Titanic and Britannic we forget that the third sister didn't meet with tragedy. It's sort of ironic that the two that were lost at sea are still visited today, and the one that made it is gone forever without a trace to find today.

    An excellent overview with just the right amount of detail. Your presentation style is my favorite: voice narration over still photos. This simple approach is best, provided you are working with a first-class script. In other words, telling a compelling story that is unfolded via a logical progression of scenes, as in a play. Flashier productions, featuring video and animation, and nowadays simulation, tend to have the supporting media in the foreground while the narration is mostly devoted to describing the supporting media rather than telling the story that should have been the purpose of the video. Adding to this viewer’s irritation is the use of stock footage I have seen so many times before. Often this footage is not what the narration says it is. Your simpler presentation style is what I like to call “Classic KZread” and for me is more effective in transferring knowledge as well as entertainment. A year from now I will remember the relationship between Titanic and her siblings. The script is concise but thorough, and your voice narration is just right. As for the animation-for-its-own sake presentation style, I usually tune out after a few minutes because the script is badly written and the narration poorly delivered. For many of today’s YT viewers, however, watching a faux movie with lots of exciting action, the more gruesome the better, and no redeeming value, is just what they want. To them, facts are boring and a presentation containing too many of them will be skipped.

    Wow, learnt SO much. The whole video was brilliant and so expertly presented. Thank you. I even found out that (at 7:54) the boilers where only 16 inches high - must have had some incredible efficiency figures. (Fortunately I work in metric units so I saw the real figure - and of course so did Bill.) Excellent!

    Well done Bill! I can truly appreciate what was a technological marvel back then! Thank you for keeping it simple and putting things in layman’s terms. I’m grateful somebody took the time to take pictures during the construction phase and give us an idea of the magnitude of these parts with people beside them, but also the revolutionary inventions for greater safety,less vibration, a smoother ride, and overall striving to make it elegant, comfortable, and affordable for almost all classes back then. Kudos to all who dare to dream and somehow orchestrate an idea to become a reality. I’ve toured a steam locomotive, built in the mid 1950’s as well as an experimental submarine built around the same time. It all started with a single idea. I will never understand what it took to put a man on the moon. Thanks again Bill for a job well done!

    Your forgot to mention that the Olympic has a naval combat victory to her name. She sank the German U-Boat U-103 by ramming during the war. She also attempted to tow a disabled battleship the HMS Audacious to shore but instead rescued her crew as the battleship sank only to get drawn into a cover-up about the whole incident. The Olympic had a super interesting career. Too bad most people only know it as the Titanic's sister. She was one of the greatest ships of her era.
