There were two huge triple-expansion reciprocating steam engines each driving the port and starboard propellers, and a smaller steam turbine driving the central one.

Titanic had 24 double-ended and 5 single-ended boilers, which not only gave the ship it's electricity but it gave power to 2 reciprocating steam engines for 2 of the 3 propellers and the third propeller was powered by a low-pressure turbine

The Titanic had four engines.
