: Does anyone know the proper colour usage that was utilized on the Titanic for;
:
: a) Inside the Crow's Nest
:
: b) The four canvas holding poles on top of the compass tower.
:
: The poles look dark in the Odell photos but I am not sure if that is shadowing or if they matched the rail that sat on the tower's structure.

I think inside the crow's nest would be painted white, as was the outside. It was basically just a box for the lookouts to stand in, so why make the inside a different color? I think that the poles on the compass tower would be white also, since most of the structures on the boat deck were white, except the funnels....
That's just my opinion.
All the best,
Gary
