Are you referring to the anchor crane at the bow, or cargo cranes?

[old salty]

Well done Andrew i am surprised it went on so long regards Salty seen here in Davy,Joneses, locker.p.s the boom that is attatched to the foremast is a staff, not a crane regards.

So I get to ask the question!? Okay, but remember, this thread originally started life as a reverse quiz, you give the answer, and people try to guess the question!

So, here's the answer; 124

cranes were mentioned and i thought maybe i hadn't made my question clear enough.and as with the call sign, question, I thought a few hints would help out which resulted in the answer in both questions. NO, more hints in future, okies. regards Salty.

[old salty]

Was 13 really unlucky for Titanic.There was thirteen of them to be found on Titanic,s hull. regards all Salty.

Andrew just thought about your reply how do you reach the conclusion my question should have been 124?
very.

hi scotfot what on earth has that got to do with {cranes}??????????? Salty

[MAB]

how do you reach the conclusion my question should have been 124?

I think if you re-read Andy's message, old salty, you'll see that he's providing a new answer having nothing to do with yours.

hi scotfot what on earth has that got to do with {cranes}???????????

This, too, has nothing to do with your messages, but is a response to Andy's.

[old salty]

MAB It seems that i have really rattled your cage calm down man, maybe i misquoted Andrews reply,if that's the case then i am big enough to apologize. if you find the 13 attachment's on Titanic:s hull the drinks are on me regards Salty.

???

No need to apologize to anyone, old salty. That the confusion in this thread is over is the point.

if you find the 13 attachment's on Titanic:s hull the drinks are on me

I'll save you some money, then, since the question is of no interest to me.

[old salty]

So, here's the answer; 124

Each time i read this reply of Andrew:s I define it not as a new question as suggested , but rather the way i should have put my question.would like other member:s views on this if possible,regards all Salty.

[Andrew Clarkson]

Salty,

Yes, they should be in that format, but as it's just a bit o' triv, we're not too bothered!

[Andrew Clarkson]

BTW... scotfot was bang on the money!

[old salty]

Salty,

Yes, they should be in that format, but as it's just a bit o' triv, we're not too bothered!

So you were not posting a new question as mab suggested, you were suggesting my question although it was only trivia should have read 124 as in one, crane on the fore peak{anchor crane}, two, {2 cargo cranes aft of the anchor crane} and then four, 4 cargo cranes aft of the the last two cargo cranes} resulting in 124.the problem is that adds up to 7? Titanic had 9 cranes. as my question suggested. so put in your terms the answer should have been 1.2.6. and not as you suggest 1.2.4.As you say only a bit of triv no harm done. now its all clear regards Salty.

[Andrew Clarkson]

Actually, I did post the new question, as I jumped the gun when I thought I'd got your question correct!

My bad, and on with the quiz!

[old salty]

On my unlucky for some 13 attachments on Titan's:c hull ? They are all there for all to view. regards salty.

[VW1956]

Am not at home right no so cannot check my answer first. Is it cranes again. But this time the cranes that were used to load the coal? Ken.

[old salty]

Nothing to do with cranes. you Will kick yourself when i reveal the answer, all there to be seen on her hull???????? regards Salty.

[VW1956]

Is the answer "doors" in the hull? As the ones where the passengers would enter and leave.

[old salty]

ken your a try er mate give you that, if you think about it if it was sea doors it would be an even number.The same port and starboard. Regards Salty.

[rmsqueenmary]

I'll give her a go.

Benches ?

[old salty]

I'll give her a go.

Benches ?

Not on her hull you wont? regards Grand Salon, Salty.

[Andrew Clarkson]

Ash ejectors?

[VW1956]

Is it "Rows of plating". Ken.

[old salty]

Keep them coming lads no cigar for anyone yet. Regards Salty.

[scotfot]

Hi Salty, Is it the number of ventilation cowels ?

regards, scotfot.

[scotfot]

If not - how about the number of coal chute doors ?

regards, scotfot.

[VW1956]

Hello scotfot. I was going to put coal chutes but I put cranes as the ones that are used to load the coal thru the coal chutes. Am guessing there are the same number of chutes as cranes. Not sure there would be an odd number of them though.

[Shamrock Sailor]

I know, but I want to see if anyone gets it.

[VW1956]

Hello. Well I brought back my copy of Titanic. The Ship Magnificent. Benn looking to see what the question is but am still very puzzled.

Hey old salty. What about "Mooring Cleats".

[old salty]

Good one this no correct answer yet, 13 of them every time you look at Titanic you will see them. Regards all Salty. Oh MAB, before you get on my case i am only answering questions here although i no it belongs in trivia????????? Regards all Salty.

[VW1956]

Hello old salty. I thought I had the answer but have just seen that I already posted it. I thought it was doors. I just counted 13 of them on the hull. I just thought. Is that 13 each side or 13 counting both sides. While I was at work I thought that it might be double windows as in the bakery but there are far more than 13 of those, Back to the drawing board. Ken.

Ken.

This you could put down to lateral thinking, The number 13 is what makes it so interesting, because as you say everything that was attached to her hull on the port side was duplicated on the starboard side? I promise you its no trick question they are all there for all to see and count.Best Regards Salty.
