:46:01
You want to go in there?
:46:03
Yeah.
:46:05
That's definitely
the firemen's mess.
:46:08
Oh, look at that.
Table after table.
:46:10
You can see the bow tapering in.
:46:12
Exactly.
:46:13
Shape of the ship.
:46:15
You can imagine exactly
what this place looked like.
:46:19
The firemen were segregated
:46:21
from the rest of the crew,
:46:22
probably because they had
the dirtiest job.
:46:25
So their quarters
are in the tip of the bow.
:46:27
They had two staircases,
:46:28
which took them
to the very bottom of the ship
:46:31
and to the boiler rooms.
:46:34
Imagine spiraling your way down
:46:36
to the furnaces
of this hungry leviathan
:46:38
to join hundreds of men
shoveling coal
:46:41
into the gaping maws
of the boilers.
:46:48
That's kind of spooky.
:47:07
And when you finish your shift
hours later,
:47:10
you climb back up into
your little world below decks
:47:13
at the very bow of the ship,
where you eat, you sleep,
:47:17
then you do it all over again.
:47:20
Even here, we could feel
the hand of Thomas Andrews.
:47:24
At the top of one
of the spiral staircases,
:47:27
we found a drinking fountain.
:47:29
I'm sure that even
this small kindness
:47:31
must have been
greatly appreciated.
:47:38
Here we've got a plan
that illustrates pretty well
:47:44
what happened that night.
:47:45
The "Titanic" was divided into
16 watertight compartments
:47:50
separated by
15 watertight bulkheads.
:47:53
That's these white lines here.
:47:55
And the ship was designed to be
as unsinkable as they could.
:47:59
The worst they could imagine
is a collision
