    🚢Titanic has fireplaces in many of the first class staterooms. Titanic’s fist class lounge and reading/writing room had fireplaces too. However they were all only decorative with electric heaters in them. Titanic’s first class smoke room was the only place on the ship that a real coal burning fireplace.👍

    Titanic had two parlor suites each opposite to each other on B Deck. The port suite was indeed occupied by J Bruce Ismay but the suite you are referring to the one occupied by Titanic Rose was in fact occupied by the Cardeza Family. Each of the parlor suites also had a Tudor style Private Promenade.

    • @AlextheHistorian
      @AlextheHistorian  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yes the in the movie they show several suites that rose stays in and they pretend it's all one big suite. So they show the Cardeza Suite and the Strauss Suite in the movie as one big one.

      @RobinPratt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@AlextheHistorian I cannot be sure exactly what the 4 lines coming into the box heater are but the 2 smaller valves would be for the showerbath and the lower larger ones for the bathtub. The copper pipe coming out of the bottom of the box is the fill supply for the tub. They did not have a spout as we know but a fill disc on the side that let the water in silently.
      The handled stand-up tube is indeed the drain. Usually you would lift it up and turn to lock in place for draining or opening. But to avoid a mess on board, this may work in the opposite so that it is always "open" rather than closed. You would either lift or press to drain. Since the handle is so high in the air, I am assuming that "open" is when it is in the raised position and you would turn it and lower it to close for filling the tub.
      I am sure the original blueprints would designate just what those 4 lines are. I see that there is a large black valve on the ceiling over the sink which is a main shut off, but there is only one so if it were a steam heating system there has to be a inlet (supply) and outlet (return). Since electricity was the current modern thing, I am wondering since the space heater is electric that this might also be?. Probably.
      I believe that in the 1950 film "Cheaper By The Dozen" or it's sequel, the girls go to England and there is an on-demand water heater attached to the tub that is coin operated. It is called the "Geyser". A funny routine but shows a vintage water heater of British make.

    The straus room detail is astounding. I also though this was J Bruce Ismay’s suite. Love the clock tick sound too. The toilet seems quite “industrial” for such a luxurious suite. Perhaps private water closets were rare in 1912, similar to titanic’s pool . Out of curiosity, would you pay for a copy of this demo? I was thinking the experience is so amazing, I think I would happily pay money for it. I know the guys do patreon donations which Id be happy to do, but I’m wondering making it paid could make it more viable for them? Would love to hear your thoughts. Also just found your channel.

      I think they said their accuracy with the ship was in the upper 90%. They had unprecedented access to information and photographs from various historians, institutes, and artifacts. Taking measurements and extracting information from various resources like files, books, and data records.

      By the fact that that was a private bathroom, and that was super uncommon on ships at the time. That's why people paid the money for it

      why would they waste money on decorating a bathroom?
      the amenities were a very good quality, and clean, so what more would wood paneling or marble floors add?

      To answer your question, I know when I pay good money for a hotel with a bathroom, I would be upset if I had to crap and shower in a bare steel box. If I'm paying that much money, I want my bathroom looking nicely appointed. Did the Titanics bathroom serve its utility purpose? Yes, but people didn't spend a fortune on that cabin suite for utility, they paid for luxury and comfort. Mauritanias first class bathrooms were decorated, and I'm sure that played a part in the reason people enjoyed it over Olympic.

    Yea you really don’t know much about Titanic, especially when you are asking if the Strauss rooms had a real fireplace. It’s electric.

    Hey I know this isn't about the titanic but there is a game that i think you'll like. Its called RAILROADS! Online. Its a game that takes place in Colorado between the mid 1800s to the early 1900s. Its a game where you can build a narrow guage railroad in a free roam setting. Its multi player too so that you can play with your friends and run a train together. The its still in early access so the game isn't complete but its a cool game.

    James Cameron had to invent a fake, cliched love story for the Titanic. The real one between the Strausses was far more beautiful. But Isidor and Ida weren’t hot 20 year olds who could have sex in a car, so it didn’t work for the movie.
