Titanic's officers, April 1912 Captain Edward J Smith and his senior officers
|
titanic
Titanic slowly moves down Belfast Lough towards the open sea, escorted by her tugs, on 2 April 1912. Her four huge funnels tower more than 80 feet above the boat deck, while their elegant rake is matched by her lofty masts. Externally Titanic can be distinguished from her sister ship Olympic by the forward enclosure of Promenade Deck A in order to protect first class passengers from the weather.

Titanic’s earning capacity over Olympic was increased by enhancements to the first class accommodation more expensive parlour suite rooms, in various period styles

Side view of both of Titanic's reciprocating steam engines in Harland & Wolff's Engine Works, May 1911. In Titanic’s combination arrangement of propelling machinery, exhaust steam from the reciprocating engines was further expanded through a low-pressure turbine driving a centre propeller. This system gave increased power without an increase in coal consumption.

Titanic fitting-out at the deepwater wharf early in 1912 Even without her fourth funnel, Titanic dominates the bleak industrial landscape. Harland & Wolff's huge floating crane, for lifting equipment on board, is berthed between the ship and the wharf. Two long gangways connect the ship to the shore

Titanic was not a unique one-off ship. She was the second of an intended trio of superlative liners Olympic 1911, Titanic 1912 and Britannic 1914 were built to compete with Cunard’s express turbine liners Mauretania and Lusitania, completed in 1907 Titanic at 46, 328 tons was the world’s largest ship in 1912. Britannic, the later and much modified third sister ship, was fitting out in Belfast when the First World War began in August 1914. She was completed as a hospital ship, but was sunk by a mine in 1916 and so never entered commercial service. Of the three great Belfast-built ships, only Olympic survived as a successful White Star liner, continuing in service until 1935

English premier footbal - end of season ladder
my West Ham were able to hold on to 10th position and about 7mill bounty for doing so. Am expecting few surprises for now season of 2008 as 6 players hopefully will return from injury and play on a consistent basis. They need strikers - bellamy is a runner at defence, Zamora has not the skill to be at this level, Ashton needs to have a good partner to take the heat off him.

Recession takes a detour
That, at least, is the view of a growing number of economists -- including some who not long ago were saying a recession was all but inevitable. "A couple months ago it seemed like we were on the abyss," said Jay Bryson, global economist with Wachovia Corp. "Things have changed....The numbers we've seen recently haven't been as bad as we were led to believe just a few months ago." Wachovia now puts the odds of recession at 45%, down from 90% in April Mr. Bryson and other economists note that though two main pillars of the economy, the labor market and consumer spending, have faltered, they have not collapsed as they did in past recessions Job losses, meanwhile, have been less severe than they usually are in recessions Alan Greenspan the U.S. is in an "awfully pale recession." George Soros the "acute phase" of the crisis has now passed
