RMS Titanic Engineers

Categories: Tragedy, Transport

The team led by Chief Engineer Joseph Bell comprised 24 engineers, 6 electrical engineers, two boilermakers, a plumber and a clerk. When the ship foundered, they all (including those off-duty) struggled to maintain services while the evacuation took place. As they were all below decks, none had any chance of escape.
