The Titanic had 3 propellers. She had 2 wing or outer propellers each with 3 blades and 23 feet in diameter, and 1 center propeller with 4 blades and 17 feet in diameter. All propellers were made of Bronze.
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.
The Titanic had 3 massive propellers. The biggest two were solid bronze, 23.6 ft and weighed 38 tons.
The center propellor was a bit smaller at 16.6 ft and weighed 17 tons. It was bronze as well.
She had 3 propellers. Propellers are cool!
The weight of the outer propellers was about 38 tons, whilst the smaller centre prop. weighed in at 22 tons.
Titanic had three propellers. The middle one was 17 feet in diameter and weighed approximately 22 tons. And the other two were 23.5 feet in diameter and weighed approximately 38 tons each.
There were three propellers. Each had three blades although some question that the center propeller may have had 4 blades.
Most agree that they each had three blades.

Titanic's outer propellers weighed 38T each and the central one was 22T.
The Britannic and the Olympic
The 150 and 152 both have 2 blade propellers.
No!
Propellers can have any number from 2 -8 or so blades.

They look like propellers, or fans.
In production the different models came with 3, 4 or 5 blade propellers of different manufacturers.
The blades are shaped like air plane propellers and use the airs force to push on the shape of the blades.

Whilst some propellers are comparatively slow there is an effect called the stroboscopic effect, which at certain revolutions, synchronise reflected light from the blades. This fools the eye into believing the propellers are turning much more slowly than they are.
Rotors, they are generally so-called (Props) applies to conventional propellers on conventonal aircraft, of course an autogyro or a Rotordyne has both propellers and Rotors but that is a special case.
Spitfires were made with many different versions of the Merlin and Griffon engines, and also many different propellers with 3, 4, 5 and 6 blades. Most of the Mk 9 and it's variants (the most common Spitfires) Used the Rotol 4 blade propeller.
3 Propellers were on the famous RMS TITANIC!
