A Complete Guide to Titanic's Engines

Video Description

Titanic's colossal engines were a work of mechanical art, towering three storeys tall - but they were just one part of a much larger system that propelled the massive ship through the ocean at 22 knots. Today we'll explore the various parts of Titanic's engineering systems; the boilers, the reciprocating engines and finally the powerful central turbine and how each system served to drive this massive ship at great speed! With special thanks to the team from @TitanicHG for their spectacular 3D graphics, created by the talented Jack Gibson.
