There are several excellent pictures of the pipe
you speak of....unfortunatly they are all from
the front of the ship and therefore are poor when
it gets to the back. Pages 27/28, 31, 42 of
"Titanic:An illustrated History" show this pipe and
One of the pictures on the Titanic:Voyage of Discovery"
CD shows the best view of the pipe as it runs down
the support beam on B deck as the picture is from
below looking up toward the bridge wing cab. The
pipe runs just past the 2nd beam and then does a
180 back the the beam and then down.
As for the aft end all the photos show it running
to the very end of the enclosed promenade and then
it appears to turn inboard. This would make reasonalbe
as there are several pipes that run the length of the
ship on the underside of the promenade roof, both A
and B decks. Again the CD has many nice photos of
this.
Hope this helps you. Let me know if you have anymore
questions about the "Lovely Lady".

: Underneath the superstructure runs a pipe along the majority of its length. The pipe can be seen coming up the 2nd (middle) post of the foreward B deck promenade then bending towards the stern. My question is how far back does this pipe run under the superstructure overhang? Page 92 of Titanic At Two shows a picture of the Olympic and it appears as though this pipe ran to the farthest post aft on the superstructure and then bent down towards the B deck floor. Was this the same for the Titanic? One painting I have been looking at (Titanic) seems to have the pipe ending at the aft end of the Cafe Parisien then bending inward where the aft B deck open promenade begins.
: I wish to add this pipe in part to mask the seam between the superstructure and the hull but mainly to add as much detail as possible to the 1/350 model.
: Any ideas anyone?
