Titanic Photographic Series - Part IX Underneath Titanic's Stern Fantail and the Port Propeller

The next part of our Titanic Photographic Series will look underneath the Titanic's stern fantail and specifically explore the port propeller. With the collapsing of the fantail area, getting to observe the port propeller is a very tricky and dangerous maneuver for the MIR submersible. Our submersible pilot, Genya Cherniev, is an expert pilot and we were able to get up close to the propeller without any difficulties.The first two pictures takes us directly under the stern fantail and where the rudder once was placed. The middle picture is a panoramic view of the port propeller with two of its three blades exposed. The final two photographs are close-up shots of the propeller that show the prop shaft and a blade of this propeller. Please note in the extreme close-up that the bronze of the blade is very pristine and our submersible lights are reflecting off this blade to show off a golden hue. Another noteworthy observation is that the original red paint and nuts are clearly visible.

Titanic Photographic Series - Part X Titanic's Huge A-Frame Engines

The last scheduled part of our series will take a look at the huge A-frame engines that are very prominent on the stern section of the shipwreck of RMS Titanic. The engines are the largest structures on Titanic. In the longitudinal photograph of the Engine, you can clearly see the over-pressure release valve and steam whistle. The first four photographs show the top part of this huge engine and the last two show the lower portions of these engines where the gears are visible.
