LOL Collie you're too funny.
The Titanic and Olympic needed only 3 funnels but Lord Pirrie thought that a fourth funnel would make the ships look grander. The fourth funnel carried vents from the turbine engine room and from the huge coal stoves in the main kitchen. Each of the 4 oval funnels averaged 63feet (19m) high, 19 feet (6 M) wide, and 24 1/2 feet (7m) long. Big enough to drive two trains through. from a book in my collection. :) |

That funnel was also used as storage. Mostly of chairs and such. Not too many people know that little fact.

I'd heard that..I think it was also used for some of the cargo too and things such as spices?? Although I can't recall where I heard that.
