See, it was used for so many purposes that with my bad memory I can't possible recall every use. :)

The base of the funnel also housed the ship's kennel.

oh yes, what would life be like without it. And then, since you dont' recall where you heard it that fact loses credability....it's just wonderful... :)

Dont you love hearing things then forgetting where you heard/read them?? LOL

yea, spices as well. I can't remember where I heard it either.

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.

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

Thanks Rosie your great.

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. :)

Thanks for that. Yes i would like to go to a real party as long as i can bring wee Rosie. But ill have to ask her first.
