So more than likely the pool is actually in good condition compared to much of the rest because of the lack of water/oxygen to circulate in to the area. Absolutely fascinating and i’d give anything to see it. But those doors being sealed its unlikely we ever will, Unless the decay happens in a way that exposes it of course.

Apr 15, 2019 · The Titanic had a swimming pool on board. The accommodation on Titanic was luxurious and spacious. In first class there were many new attractions such as squash courts, a Turkish bath, a gymnasium, a barber shop and also the first swimming pool on board a ship. Even the cheaper third class cabins were of a better standard than those on other ...

Aug 5, 2016 · Hi, I was watching a live action documentary (somewhat inaccurate) called "What Sank Titanic?" that included the stories of Captain Edward Smith, Bruce Ismay, Thomas Andrews, Fredrick Barrett, Jack Thayer, Milton Long, the Baxters, Bertha Maine, a Steerage family, and an inspector. About...

Oct 17, 2001 · Hi Kyrila! Why do you say "Those areas were probably destroyed when the ship hit the bottom."? They were quite a bit forward from the scene of the break up, so they should be as they were in 1912 (apart from a few rusticles, a tad to much water in the pool and a court fit only for synchronised squash!)

Jul 23, 2001 · Quite ingeniously was the pool heated I think. The pool itself was constructed right above boiler room #5 and it was primarily the heat emanating from the boilers that would heat the pool. I'm sure 78'F was a nice medium. They would probably drain the pool slightly whilst pumping in new seawater every so often to prevent "uncomfortable ...

Mar 13, 2002 · The pool did indeed contain salt water, heated, according to Col. Gracie "to a refreshing temperature". Inidentally, the pool was not filled until the Titanic had left its last port of call and had made sufficient headway into open ocean.

May 8, 2024 · Hello all, I have been a Titanic fan for many years, and had this question in my brain for a while and wondered if anyone could answer it. Today on a cruise you can just put you bathing suit/bikini on and a towel and head to the pool. On Titanic and in 1912 society people didn't just walk...

But the watertight door separating the pool from the Turkish baths is still closed shut and jammed. And in reality, water at such a depth has too little oxygen to rust the steel of the hull. But it has been recently discovered that a bacteria, the Titanicae, has been eating away the metal in a very aggressive manner, and it is expected to ...

Mar 14, 2000 · There was no pool for second class and the pool for first class was not worth calling a pool. It was a tiny affair, I think 36 feet x 13 feet, filled with warm sea water. Its use was segregated by sex and costume was neck to knee at least. Quite unromantic! SOS does not stand for Save our Ship, Souls or Sausages.

Feb 28, 2019 · Titanic the Ship Magnificent by Beveridge et al, 2016 Edition.. Volume I, pg 361-364. One feature consistent to the sanitary water systems aboard ocean liners of the time, including Olympic, is that sea water was pumped up to large storage tanks, or 'cisterns', on the highest decks of these ships.
