Hi, I'm been on this newsgroup for a few weeks and I think it's pretty
neat.  I was just wondering, does anyone have any Titanic ascii's?  No, I
don't mean of the actors... which would be quite hard to do.  Just some of
the ship.

On every photo and pic I have viewed, I have never seen smoke comming
from the last smokestacks, so I think you are right about the
ornamental one. 

Here is a small one I did, I do hope that it looks ok.

Ornamental? Huh? As in fake? Oh well, maybe you're not supposed to
understand the motive of everything... (why the hell would they do
that?!)

Love the pic, Joan!

 The fourth, rear, "funnel" is actually an air intake for ventilation;
 the above picture is therefore actually correct.

Why would the fourth funnel be for ventilation? To suck
the smokey air back into the ship and give all the
passengers Carbon Monoxide poisoning?

Ah, that clarifies the situation.. Well, shouldn't that have been the
first one, as now all the exhaust fumes are sucked into the intake..

According to Don Lynch, Titanic historian, the fourth smokestack was
an outlet from the kitchen.  In Entertainment Weekly he's qouted as
saying, "The stoves were coal stoves, so you had some smoke out of the
fourth funnel."

*LOL*

You're right. Or the David Cameron's wrong... :-) I saw the movie (again!)
yesterday, and the last funnel was expelling quite some smoke, although not
as much as the other ones.

The fourth funnel was used to vent the coal ovens in the kitchens of
the Titanic.  Thus, some smoke would have been seen coming out of it
at times, though nowhere near as much as what the massive boiler rooms
were pumping out.

That makes sense, Sarah!  Thanks for the info...
As for the pic, no one is cooking right now!  :)

AFAIK It was also a storage room for the sun chairs used at deck..

Oh Dodgemiester, you're on to something here. I always said that the
Titanic was a dangerous ship, but this proves my point.
