Miniature Titanic Model Fore, Aft and Boat Decks

The five main boiler room intake ventilators, with their multi-paneled front screens painted red, are in place and oriented correctly. Some 27 small cowl vents with their red screens on grey bases, along with various groupings of the miscellaneous deck venting machinery, etc. are shown.

All 16 lifeboats are included along with their respective pairs of Wellin davits. They are smaller than sesame seeds. Collapsible lifeboats A and B located on top of the officer’s quarters adjacent to the No. 1 funnel are shown, along with port and starboard “open” lifeboats swung out on davits behind the bridge wings.

Virtually all of the various deckhouse windows and doors are present and accurately located. These include the windows that identify, for example, the first class gymnasium and staircase entries. Shape outlines of all the upper deck structures are accurately rendered. All the various staircases on the upper decks are represented and in their proper locations.

Superstructure, hull portholes, and various promenade deck openings, (including the enclosed foreward promenades, which made the Titanic visually distinct from her sister ship, the Olympic) have been rendered with as much accuracy possible in such a small scale.

The decking has an exaggerated planking pattern to accentuate visual interest. If scale were strictly adhered to here, individual planks would be narrower than the width of human hairs and thus not readable, or visible, at all. An artistic choice was made to render an impression of planking, rather than none at all.

All appropriate deckhouse roofs and surfaces are rendered accurately. Deck areas are rendered as described above, and roofs and other non-decked surfaces are rendered in shades of warm grays or white, appropriate to scale.

All the “park-like” seating benches that appeared on the ship are accurately shown both in location and number. These appear as small rectangular dark brown “specks” located about the ship. They are the most apparent on the poop deck at the stern.
