How many funnels on the titanic were real?

Answer 1

Four, however only the first three were used. The fourth one was added for ventilation for the kitchens and for symmetrical foundation.
There were 4 smoke funnels on the Titanic, but, only 3 of them allowed smoke to escape from the engines. The fourth one was just there for show. A ship with 4 smoke funnels looked more impressive than a ship with only 3 funnels.

Answer 2

If you mean Smoke Stacks. There were 4. But only 3 actually worked. The 4th was merely for show. It made it look like the largest ship of the time. No other ship at that time had 4 smoke stacks. That is incorrect. The first three funnels were active to six boiler rooms. The fourth had a chimney in its forward half for smoke from the coal-fired kitchens and the smoking room fireplaces. The aft half of that funnel served as a ventilation shaft for the engine room. There were, in fact, many ships before the Titanic with four funnels (Mauretania, Lusitania, Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, and several others). Olympic and Titanic were originally designed with three funnels and four masts but it was decided, since so many other ships sported four funnels, that a fourth would be consistent with their status as the largest ships yet. The number and placement of boiler rooms ultimately dictates how many funnels are needed. The Olympic class design with coal bunkers running transverse (side to side) rather than along the sides meant the boiler rooms did not extend as far aft along the hull like the Lusitania, which had all four active to boiler rooms. Boiler rooms on the Olympic class stopped after the third funnel.

Answer 3

Although there were four funnels, only three were actually operational. The fourth one was a dummy so was never used. It was put there to make the ship look more powerful.

Answer 4

Only 4.there were 5 on it though but only 4 worked the 5th was so the ship didn't look off.

Answer 5

Only three were real. The fourth one was a dummy so was never used. It was only put there to make the sip look more powerful

Answer 6

The Olympic and Britannic, both had 4 funnels and on both just like the Titanic the last one was just for show.

Answer 7

Titanic had four funnels and altho the fourth one was often considered a "dummy funnel" that's not entirely true. It was used to vent the galley (kitchen) and other places.
