Titanic Basics: Terminology
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- "Titanic Basics" is a short series we will be making sporadically, giving a lesson on a category of Titanic's story. In this episode, we tackle terminology. Some of them are basic, and some of them are a bit more advanced.
Terms discussed:
Hull, Keel, Bow, Stern, Starboard, Port, Larboard, Forecastle, Well Deck, Mast, Crow's Nest, Bridge, Helm, Poop Deck, Funnel and Smoke Stack, Tender, Sister Ship, Ocean Liner, Cruise Ship, Scotland Road, Mess Hall, Shaft Alley, and Glory Hole.
"Once you're done lubricating the shafts, you can go to the glory hole."
Polish Dog “Aye, aye sir. Just stay off me poop deck.”
This is funny
I cant even begin to count the number of times Ive had to explain to people why titanic was not a cruise ship. Most of them just argue the point, but this video explains it far better than I do. I actually kinda wish that segment was uploaded on its own as a short clip that could be sent to people who need it explained
Yes, back then ships were taking people to a new country as airplanes hadn't been invented yet. In this case, Titanic was taking immigrants to America. RMS stood for Royal Mail Steamer which means it wasn't a cruise ship
@@davinp yeah, but when i explain that to people they just like to argue semantics
Spencer Kent The reason they keep saying that Titanic is a cruise ship (Or at least in my mind) is because Cruise ships are the most popular form of sea travel while the Ocean Liner has almost gone extinct. Or they call it a boat which is Farrr worse than calling it a cruise ship.
Liners are built tougher as well, to deal with constant rough seas and storms.
Just share it with the timestamp: 5:46 or ruclips.net/video/BDQDCkUubIw/видео.html
I thought i was mature but when you hit us with the "glory hole" i spat my pepsi out on to the screen... thanks tom
Stop being dirty.
MDkid1 :’D you gotta
Lol me too. Except I don’t drink Pepsi. Someday I’ll be grown up and super mature but no today hahah
69 likes...nice
😂😂😂
Got to be honest here. I’m a ship’s engineer (3rd Eng) and I did not know that was why a ship’s bridge is so named.
When this game finally comes out I’m going to be happyyyyyyyyy
Bolton Alford game is coming and soon
I hear ya brother....been waiting since 1987 for something like this to arrive lol
Marty Morren that’s the estimated Time it might take a little quicker or longer
Try to be happy every day!
Game? Can someone elaborate?
Titanic: Honor & Glory is not going to be a video game. It's going to be a historical experience!
Yes!
I'd not be surprised if Scotland Rd was called that due to the streets name in Liverpool, not sure if she was born there or was taken back there when her mother gave birth to her, but the late Cilla Black certainly grew up on what residents dub Scottie/Scotty Road. Infact yeah made this before they said that, and yeah like I said Cilla grew up there, was great friends with Ringo Starr The Beatles drummer.
Both
why did the funnels/smoke stacks fall of when they hit the water? To qoute Michel rosen
"They just keeled over and died"
I think it had to do with the fact that they where very heavy and when they touched the water line, the ship had already a 6-10 degree list toward the bow. also, the would have been really hot so that when the water touched them they we flash cooled, buckling the steel and weakening the structure. To be clear I'm not an expert on this subject that's just what I think happened.
Joshua Lewandowski Makes sense to me, especially the idea of the sudden cooling. The thermal shock would have been appreciable, with a temperature difference of likely well over 300F between the interior surfaces of the funnels and the roughly 28F North Atlantic.
@@F-Man that makes sense to me!
@@joshualewandowski829 makes sense
Joshua Lewandowski actually the casing had not yet flooded and the pressure from the water crushed the bases of the funnels. They then fell to the port side due to the listing.
Speaking of terminologies, in aviation, the news media uses the word "tarmac" all the time and all aviation staffs, experts and even enthusiast cringe at this term because it doesn't exist. They usually uses it when the plane is on the "ground" (which this should be the more preferable term for the general audience who had no idea about the term and think it sounds sophisticated, but is not...) in the airport. Last time I've checked the roads of the airport are called the runway (the long "tarmac" that planes uses when taking off or land), the taxiway (the series "tarmac" of roads that leads pathways to and from the runway and the gate/jet gangway) and the apron (the "tarmac" where planes park). And another thing, they don't use this kind of material for roads on airports, they are made of concrete to support the weight of heavy planes. I know this is out place but what the hey!
Tarmac is an alternative trade name for asphalt, which may explain why it's popular as a term for runways. Also, smaller airports may indeed use asphalt for their runways, as it'd be cheaper to put in and maintain-concrete runways are more involved in terms of laying down and repairing.
I naturally assumed that "tarmac" only referred to the apron area(s) around the terminal concourses and gates.

AhhhhA
AAhAh
AAAAAAAAA!!!
You forgot to mention what a superstructure is.
Yea!
@@AndyHappyGuy Technically, it's EVERYTHING above the "hull" where the hull is topped by the main deck.
Think of it this way: there's "structure", or the hull, then there's the "super structure" (yes I know it's one word, but I split it to make the point), where "super" is used in the sense of "above, on top of, or beyond". The hull is topped by the main deck, forming a 'box' of sorts. Everything put on top of that box is the surperstructure.
Cheers
I'm still sketchy on which part is the faulksol, totally misspelled but damn it, I want to know! Was it where the 3rd class outdoor area was? Forward or aft of the 3rd class breeze way? Is breeze way the right word? Was it where the dipped loading area was? Were those dipped areas for loading? Thanks!
@@penelopejoann It was the area at the very front of the ship that juts up and typically it's used for deck machinery, passengers typically aren't allowed to go on most of it but, the well deck is where passengers would hang out on the bow.
I knew most of these terms already, but the clarification on them was rather good!
I remember a field trip to the Lexington here in Corpus Christi in the 1st grade. I was the only kid that knew parts of a ship, because of Titanic. This was back in 1995ish. This video brought back alot of memories of my father teaching me this stuff, he too is a Titanic enthusiast.
As a Titanic enthusiast since 1996, about the time the TV miniseries with Tim Curry came out, I still always manage to learn something on your videos. It's easy to think I'm a Titanic know it all, but there's always more to uncover. Keep the information coming!
The word POSH comes from when ships sailed from England to India and to remain in the shade and cooler cabins on the Equator you requested the POSH cabins....Portside Out, Starboard Home.
And sailing to New York, it would be the sunny side of the ship, and more expensive? Thus also POSH
Excellent idea for an explanatory series to better explain discussions/points/conversations etc. Look forward to the next ones!
Very well explained indeed! I've been familiar to the Titanic and the ocean liners for several years, but I enjoyed it anyway. Didn't know about the story behind Scotland road and the models are lovely.
I’d want to go on an Ocean Liner because of how incredible they are!
Really glad to hear. I so wish there was a channel like Captain Joe or Mentour, only on seafaring. Maybe this series will be something very close to that.
You can check out jeffHK's channel. While not all that active he has some great video's about how stuff works on ships. ruclips.net/channel/UCGpdSarF_FdCygiA1tOl6Cg
Excellent video! As a veteran of the U S Navy, you brought back a lot of memories for me and your explanation was clear and concise. 👍
Even though i'm a slight Titanic Enthusiast, i learned more terms about the titanic like the shaft, glory hole, etc.
Hey quick question. Are you guys planning to put in the dog kennels? If so where? I know there are several accounts of it being on both boat deck and several saying it was on f deck. Just curious as to what you guys plan to do
Great video Tom. Really enjoyed this one. Would love to see more like this.
These videos are exceptional. You and your team will be the world’s foremost experts on steamships for our generation.
Thank you for this video. As someone who has prepurchased your game these clips are exactly what is needed to more deeply appreciate the game upon release. Great work and look forward to the next one!
Great stuff! I just can't get over the fluidity of your delivery. Truly top quality
Thank you for that, i knew most of the ones earlier in the video but not all of the latter.
Must say just being a member of this group is a learning experience, i feel like a normal person dropped head-first into a steam-train enthusiasts group... Not really my focus, but i'm learning so much. And learning stuff on this, even if it isn't my passion, is still good :D
I've been a Titanic enthusiast for years but some of this information was even new to me. Love this series - can't wait for the next instalment!!
This is great content and exactly what I was looking for after all of my binge watching steam liner historiography. Do you have a video on the novel written in the later 1800s about a steamer that sank referred to as the Titan? This correlation story is unbelievable and I know a story here needs to be discussed that isn't sensationalized in any way. Your team is the most respectful and dignified I've come across, when talking about these tragic losses we associate with Titanic. Thank you and keep up the good work!
how was Titanic's whistle blown, I mean like was there a lever, or rope, or something.
And the guy who did that, has been called the 'Whistleblower'! ;)
@@ksp-crafter5907 I bet he slept nice in those Glory Holes ;)
A horn on the steering wheel duh
Dyslexic Batnam Toot toot, Titanic coming through!
IIRC, the ship's whistle was powered by steam from the propulsion circuit (or maybe there was a ship's service steam line for non-propulsion-related duties? IDK), and if so, it would presumably be a valve controlled by an electric relay; could be as simple as a button pressed on the bridge.
Such an incredible channel, thanks for your tireless work.
Peter Anderson that's a beautiful mustache
This is a great idea. All terms I know having been an ocean liner geek since the age of 7 (the year Dr. Ballard went down to Titanic in Alvin) but very useful for my 7yo son who is himself just getting interested in Titanic and ocean liners.
I didn't snicker, but i smiled a bit.. but i was happy to learn where the word Poop Deck comes from :D
FASCINATING! I absolutely loved this!!
Nice vid, even interessting for someone who knows Titanic and also ship-terms.
Interesting is that in germany we still use "backbord" for portside. Back is the storage in seamen language which still revers to its old Name :)
god i love toms voice its just, wonderful, i can listen to him for hours. honestly any one else with me
That tie, shirt and vest combo gotta go, however.
I stayed mature through Poop Deck, only smirked a little when he talked about "lubricating the shaft", but when he said Glory Hole I laughed out loud. I think I did pretty well, I'm only human.
Thank you sir. If I ever get to go on a cruise the first question I'll ask is where the glory hole is located.
It’s good to be back on honor and glory I hope I watch more of this and hopefully do more with the titanic just like in 2019
I can't wait for this awesome game anymore!!
Welp... I Guess ur gonna have a hard two and a half years.
I know, until 2020
Well, I certainly learned quite a few things. Can't wait for the next Titanic Basics :D
Just got my 2019 Titanic Honor & Glory calendar. Very cool even the pictures could eventually be framed. Thanks
Did I see that the middle propeller has 3 blades? I have read some articles and documents from H&W shipyard about Titanic middle propeller with 3 blades, but I'm still bit uncertain. Can you make some video about middle propeller?
LukZombi
more than likely 3-bladed center prop, though unproven and likely always will be, there was a piece of information uncovered in 2010-11 that revealed thrust output and hydrodynamic differentials from each propeller on Titanic, and what was intriguing is that the center prop had identical characteristics as the outboard props, showing the same statistics as the prop with 3-blades, which is a bit different than a prop with 4-blades as Olympic and Britannic had. Which leads experts to now believe Titanic most likely had a 3-bladed center-prop.
The discovery of the documentation pre dates 2010-11. I first ran across it in 2007. See: www.markchirnside.co.uk/TitanicThreeBladedCentrePropeller.html
The center prop was driven by a different engine at a slower speed, so was bigger. This engine used waste steam from the main two engines and turned it into power.
That's not the case, @@nickbreen287 . The centre propeller turned faster than the port and starboard propellers (the ratio was about 2.2:1 revolutions). It was also smaller. Harland & Wolff's records show Titanic's centre propeller had a diameter of 17 feet, whereas the port and starboard propeller diameters were 23 feet 6 inches.
That 1/1000 scale is SOOO FOOKIN’ CUTE. I’m now considering on buying one.
Did you see Voyage of Despair in Call of Duty, Black ops 4?
OOF
A very great video! However I noticed something. From what we have seen of your 3D-built Scotland Road I can't help but think that it's missing the typical sheer (the characteristic curvature of the upper decks) of old ships from that time. Now, I don't know how noticeable the sheer was on Titanic's lower decks or on Scotland Road, but I always thought on a ship of this size it should be noticeable. The Wikipedia-entry to the "sheer" also has a nice picture of one of Queen Mary's long corridors that imply what I'm talking about. Then again, I don't know how this looked on Titanic, I might be completely wrong here.
Other than that keep up the fantastic work. :)
@Reunite The British Empire I honestly have no idea what you are trying to tell me.
The Nomadic decks have a very noticeable curve fore/aft and port starboard!
There is sheer represented on the T-H&G Scotland Road, but I believe this was faked in just this hallway because of the astronomical labor it would take to account for an unnoticeable sheer in every room. The Queen Mary had more sheer than Titanic, that's why it looks more obvious. Titanic would have more sheer in the lower decks, but this is only seen at distance.
Loved this! Learnt loads too!
8:21 You guys were definitely talking to me. I've been caught!
I am 50 and still learning. This is rightious. 🌎
I like the idea of this series, it will be very helpful to those that are new to the subject.
Well now I know how starboard and port got their names. You learn someone’s every day.
Why did they change the boiler function from coal to oil after World War 1 on both the Olympic and the Aquitania I believe. Was it because it was cheaper to use and required less crew?
no it was more expensive but was much more efficient
Whats the purpose of the bosuns chair, folded alsongside the hull, just under the bridge?
There's Tom, Snazzy as always!
Yay a Glory Hole x'DDD
Thank you I learned a lot THG :*
Wow nice idea. You did well!
One's collection is not complete with models of the Titanic and the Olympic, but none of the Britannic.
Excellent !!!
Very cool idea for a new video series, and also great to take a look at the new models - I’ve got Titanic, Olympic, and Nomadic on order! 🙂
What do you think about the black ops 4 titanic zombies map
Looks shit, in the trailer they called it the HMS Titanic lmao
WHHYYYYYYY 😱
Lol it’s call of duty they never get things right
People always seem to forget the SS Traffic which worked alongside SS Nomadic.
What led Jack Phillips to rebuff the ice warning from Cyril Evans?
First off let me just say that I am looking forward to the completion of this project. I have been following it for quite some time now, and you guys are making a lifelong dream to more and more come true. I can't wait until the day comes when I can walk around Titanic and just grasp all the amazing details... When that is said, we´re on the verge of a new era in computer tech with higher resolutions and real time ray tracing rendering capabilities. Is this something that you guys are going to implement in the final version? My suggestion is that you really consider the possibilities of RT.. With that amount of work and detailing you guys have put into it, it would be amazing to have another layer of texture and air particles to the final product.... Ray tracing or not.. Im very impressed of your work, and I am looking extremely forward to the final product.... Good job guys!!!!
You guys should do a 3d printed model of the SS America and the renamed SS Australis. The Titanic and the other models are so cute I live them!
Another great video, keep em coming!
I really love this please make more this is interesting especially when it deals with the Titanic thank you
Where are the mast on the model tom?
Nice mixer from the United States! I have one of her lifejackets in my collection.
Hi Guys, my 6 year old Son loves the channel and all things ships. Can you tell me where you get all the models, Titanic, Britanic and Olympic being his favourites. Any pointers very much appreciated. Thank you, Keith and Sebastisn (6 ) in Ireland.
Wasn't the Titanic's 4th funnel for design purposes only, and not connected to a boiler room?
To vent smoke frome the galleys, turbine engine room and smoke room (+the hospital)
Excellent video it,s good that you're educating the non nautical,s 👍
Oh I want to walk on all parts of Titanic.
Awesome!
how were the lifeboats launched
Question: Why don't the 1:1000 scale models you made have any masts?
Love the channel
On 1997 Titanic movie, during the iceberg scene the leading officer (idon`t remember his name) gives order "Hard to Starboard!", but the ship turns left. Am I remembering this right?
Titanic's crew used what's called inverted tiller commands, which deserves an entire video of its own. Stay tuned.
They said hard to starboard so they would turn the tiller towards the starboard side and that would result in the ship turning to port.
@@edienandy viski92 had to wait 8 months for that answer 😂
@Rolf Jander 05:35 1/1/21
Happy new year 😎
Thanks, but I already know what a glory hole is :^)
XD
Wait, what the hell am I replying to? *_And where did these tally marks on my arm come from?_*
this is terrific. thank you.
Next terminology session, can you go over the “millionaire suites” aboard Titanic?
This just getting even more exciting, but I wish the game was out by now :)
Booze cruises. In the UK you were a bona fide traveller if you travelled more than three miles and you could get a drink in a hotel whereas locals had to observe statutory opening hours. Ships were great for these, particularly on a Sunday when the pubs were shut and as they were governed by maritime regulations anyway, the travelling drinker was doubly fortunate. The crew only, and still only as far as I know, had to close the bar when they tied up at each pier as they were in port and thus not at sea, and not going anywhere.
what was the song used in this video's background
I know that I may sound silly or something. But did the classic ocean liners such as the Olympic class have a cool/cold temp inside?
He said lubricate the shaft😆
Hey lol
Get your mind out of the gutter, we need to talk about the glory hole.
Huh, huh, huh, shaft! Huh, huh, huh!
wow, I didn't know titanic had so many glory holes on board
seriously though I had no idea that "forecastle" wasn't pronounced like it looks because I've only ever seen it written before.
debjoy12 so weird. Reminds me of Saint John being pronounced “sin jin” like sure whatever you say. I’m chill enough to go along with it lol
Thanks
THG team, I contributed $50. The thank you page and purser office is updated monthly. But is me getting the 5 desktop photos and the digital sketch book also monthly?
very nice information sir.... I got titanic newly again.... Don' know me details of titanic and deck names...thanks bro
When Tom said the term Glory Hole I just said oh no,no,no,no,no! 😂
Titanic's glory hole lol.
This helps a lot On (don’t make fun of me) Roblox I’m making a ship named Toronto she was made in New York She is part of The Miracle class as they were the largest liners from 1906-1969 although 2 Miracle class liners had been scrapped and Toronto fell on its side and sank this helped understand liners more
Reunite The British Empire I’m sorry I don’t understand things like whatever you said anyway I’m quite fine with it I will use it if I need to tho thanks
Hi THG, well, yesterday my THG 2019 calendar arrived, and on Saturday, I contributed $50. But I wanted to tell you that on the calendar, there was sadly a typo. On January 13, it said, " Lone Survivor" Episode of NIght Gallery Airs (1969). Isn't NIght supposed to be Night? Just asking
Wait what happened in new york
Did things like the glory hole have their suggestive meanings at the time and were called that partially as a joke for crew to laugh about or is it a situation where something came to mean something dirty later like boner (which used to mean something like a practical joke, so old Batman comics have the joker talking about his boners)
Will a full, working replica of the Titanic ever be built? It's been mooted many times over the years, by Australian billionaire Clive Palmer, most recently. The Titanic continues to fascinate people and a replica ship would attract many passengers excited to get the Titanic experience - minus the tragedy and plus several dozen lifeboats!
Many will inevitably feel such a project would be ghoulish. I believe you can currently book a crossing from Southampton to New York in a ship that copies the Titanic's itinerary, and even stops to mark the point of the sinking (I wonder how accurate that location is?) But making that journey on a replica Titanic would be something else.
That said, I've read that a so-called 'Titanic ll' that copies the original interior and overall design may not be economically viable, long-term, because it would lack the modern amenities people expect from a 'cruising' experience today, eg swimming pools, cinemas, nightclubs etc.
I live beside the shipyard that built the Titanic
Gah so early. Yay 🚢
I've been researching the titanic for 6 years and I just found out what a glory hole is
Idea: cruise trains
