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.

To access these new photographs, as well as other Titanic photographs, scientific research paper and accompanying PowerPoint presentation go to our corporate website at http://www.nauticalresearch.com and within the text of this home page select the link entitled Educational Services. This will bring you to our educational page where all this valuable information can be viewed and downloaded for personal use only.

In the course of this ten part Titanic Photometric Series, we have explored the entire length of the ship from bow to stern giving you selected highlights of this beautiful shipwreck. Many thanks for taking this exciting adventure with Nautical Research Group and making this web log the most viewed shipwreck informational blog on the Internet. Look for our new video segments from Titanic after the Holidays!

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.

Next week, we will be publishing the latest photographs from the stern section that will highlight the huge Titanic engines. The size of these engines are truly unbelievable!

Really Interesting... where do u get that info DeepSeaDiver? lol

Titanic Photographic Series - Part VIII Titanic's Fragmented Stern Section

Following my brief five minute presentation at the United States Capitol about the loss of six US Navy aircraft sixty years ago on Thursday, I have decided to place seven photographs of the stern section of RMS Titanic on the corporate web site. I would like to give a special welcome to the Titanic Modeling group who are looking over these photos to assist them in creating a model of the wreck site. To augment their study, we have announced the release of detailed video of our Titanic expedition that will be released on our corporate web site starting in January 2006. This will help to put the photographs in perspective to various locations on the shipwreck. Additionally, Nautical Research Group will be releasing a comprehensive virtual dive DVD using our high-definition video in April 2006.

The following part will show various locations on the stern section of Titanic. As Titanic descended through the depths, the stern decks imploded due to the escaping air that was not able to equalize at these extreme pressures. The result is that the stern of Titanic looks like it went through a food processor. The two photographs show the extreme aft section of the stern and its associated rusticle formation. The next two photographs will explore the top of the poop deck area and the remains of one of the stern cranes. The single photograph is adjacent to the crane and shows how fragmented and indistinguishable the stern area of the Titanic has become since her sinking. The last two photographs show the port side stern railing just above the propeller and its adjacent starboard side rail that illustrates its collapsing decks.

Titanic Photographic Series - Part VII Titanic's Massive Boilers

As previously announced, due to the great success of our Titanic Photographic Series, we will be adding two more parts to the series for an overall total of ten. Additionally, we have announced that we will be including selected video clips of Titanic starting in January. Once again, thank you very much for making this site, SHIPWRECKS-Time Capsules of Human Civilization, the number one blog for shipwreck research and information.

The following part will feature the boiler room area at the aft end of the bow section of RMS Titanic. There were a total of twenty-nine boilers on Titanic. Of these twenty-nine, twenty-four were double-ended and five were single-ended boilers. Each of the double-ended boiler is 15 feet nine inches diameter and twenty feet long and contained six furnaces. The single-ended boiler had the same dimensions but were 11 feet nine inches long with three furnaces. Overall Titanic had 159 total furnaces and from the porthole of the submersible, appear quite massive. Our final picture of this part shows how the aft section of the bow is starting to settle and materials from above are sliding down towards the boilers.

I know that many of you in our Titanic community are viewing this photographic series with much interest. Therefore, to the serious Titanic scholars, I am giving you the opportunity to see a sneak preview of our next part of the series. These pictures will show you the drastic condition that Titanic is currently undergoing as she is being claimed by the sea. Being a scientist, I would like to hear from you on this thread some of your thoughts on this dire circumstance. Considering the fact that she has been underwater for over 93 years in a salt water environment, it is amazing that she isn't in worse condition than she currently is. Thoughtful discourse would be truly appreciated!!

Titanic Photographic Series - Part VI Starboard Hull Deterioration on the Bow

I was planning on showing the structural starboard side hull damage on the bow and the boilers for this part of our series; however, the structural damage to the starboard bow is too great and will be the most important concern to the overall integrity of RMS Titanic. Therefore, I will devote this entire part of my Titanic photographic series to this alarming damage as it will be an area of continued future study to evaluate the on-going condition of Titanic.

Part Six contains a great view of the structural damage that is naturally occurring on the starboard hull just below and forward of the bow cargo crane. The picture in the upper left shows Mir I exploring the front superstructure below the telemotor. From this angle, you can see how the mast has collapsed at such a sharp angle. The remainder of these pictures are quite dramatic when you realize that at least four deck levels are opened to the ocean on the starboard hull. As the ship is starting to collapse on the inside, the structural integrity of this area is being compromised and further deterioration is proceeding along the starboard hull. Observe the cracks and separation of the hull plates that will only get worse over time that threaten the overall integrity of the entire bow of Titanic.
