Some More InfoTitanic was equipped with
Three engines - two reciprocating four-cylinder, Reciprocating Cylinder each 63 feet (19 m) long and weighing 720 tons
Triple-expansion steam engines and One centrally placed low-pressure Parsons turbine
The furnaces required over 600 tons of coal a day to be shovelled into them by hand, requiring the services of 176 firemen working around the clock.
The engines were attached directly to long shafts which drove the propellers. There were three, one for each engine; the outer (or wing) propellers were the
largest, each carrying three blades of manganese-bronze alloy with a total diameter of 23.5 feet (7.2 m).
The central propeller was somewhat smaller at 17 feet (5.2 m) in diameter, and could be stopped but not reversed.

What Happened??On 14 April 1912, four days into the crossing and about
375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 pm
The glancing collision caused Titanic's hull plates to buckle inwards in a number of locations on her starboard side and opened five of her sixteen watertight compartments to the sea.
Over the next two and a half hours, the ship gradually filled with water and sank. Passengers and some crew members were evacuated in lifeboats.
A disproportionate number of men – over 90% of those in Second Class – were left aboard due to a “women and children first protocol” followed by the officers loading the lifeboats.
Just before 2:20 am Titanic broke up and sank bow-first with over a thousand people still on board.
Those in the water died within minutes from hypothermia caused by immersion in the freezing ocean.
The 710 survivors were taken aboard from the lifeboats by the RMS Carpathia a few hours later.
She lacked enough lifeboats to accommodate all of those aboard.
Many of life boats were launched only partly filled.
