Hi all.
A couple more for you...
Reference for following discussion on page 64 & 65 of Illustrated History (found them last night - thanks Thomas). Although I believe that these are photos of the Olympic they're a good starting point.
2nd Class Library
According to the photo there were six windows in pairs. On the model there's only five evenly spaced windows.
The walls are moulded to enclose the No 4 hatches outboard whereas all of the plans I have seen show the wall passing inboard of the hatches. The photo on page 65 indicates the return wall with a paired window in it.
Has anyone got any plans that confirm/deny this?
2nd Class Smoking Room
A confirmed alteration is the addition of a 6 paned window on either side of the aft smoking room (Part J25). The aft 'booths' are the Bar and the Lavatory and you can see the port window in the Marchall cutaway and a fuzzy outline on p 26 of Illustrated History. The port side can be seen in Marriott's Titanic on p 28.
All square windows have six panes.
There are two arched windows moulded either side of the centre door in part J25. The picture bottom left on p25 of IH shows the starboard windows to be a large picture window behind a booth (8 x 4 panes). The port window is obscured but the Samut plan shows a similar window port of the door.
Anyone got any ideas on this?
No 4 Hatches:
Marchall's cutaway shows the top of No 4 hatch standing about 2'6" high on B deck. The model has this moulded at about 6". Any ideas?
Thanks for all the feedback on previous posts.
Cheers
