Titanic had three "real" funnels and one "fake" funnel. The forth funnel was put on for ventilation, balance and to make the ship look more powerful. The Titanic's rivals Mauritania and Lusitania both have four funnels and people might have thought Titanic less powerful and slower because it would have only had three funnels.

Why is the titanic the only ship with 4 funnels?

The Titanic had 29 boilers constantly burning coal. There were three functioning funnels on the Titanic, directly connected to the boilers. Each of the three active funnels served two boiler rooms. The fourth was partly functional, carrying smoke up a smaller chimney in the forward half from the galleys. The remainder of that funnel served as a ventilation shaft for the engine rooms.
