Did titanic funnel hit the grand staircase?

Answer 1

The Titanic was equipped with several staircases to accommodate each class aboard the ship. First class had two grand staircases, one in the forward part of the ship and one towards the back; the forward grand staircase (which the most notable and recognized part of the ship) was located between the 1st and 2nd funnel and went down 5 decks, with four decks being of the ornate and elegant design and the last deck being a normal staircase leading to the Turkish baths and pool. The aft staircase was located between the 3rd and 4th funnel and went down three decks to C Deck where it landed on an onboard restaurant.

Answer 2

It was carved wood. My Grandfather was Francis Maguire. He worked up in Harland and Wolfe as a French polisher. He worked on the Titanic and in fact only finished his work just in time and travelled over on the ship to the U .K. Getting off just in time before the maiden voyage. he often told us of his work and he also claimed to work on the staircases, finishing offs the banisters etc.

Answer 3

The staircase is still not there. It actually broke loose of its foundation and floated upward out of the ship itself. When Ballard went down there he did not find it down there. He found a piece of wood from the grand staircase detached from its foundation. I think he might of found the grand staircase but not inside the ship.

Answer 4

No one knows what exactly happened to the Grand Staircase during the sinking since there were no surviving eye witnesses, but the most probably answer as to what happened was that it broke loose from it's foundation and floated up. The 1997 film "Titanic" had the dome implode and completely submerge the staircase, however, this was mostly done for dramatic effect, when shooting that exact same scene, the staircase itself lifted from its foundation, lending credence to the aforementioned theory. Since there is no debris at the bottom of the wreck that shows the decomposing wood, the floating up theory has become the most probable explanation.

Answer 5

No funnels affected the grand staircase during the sinking of Titanic. The staircase was near the aft and was not affected until after the breakup, in which time the four funnels had long been gone.

Answer 6

There were 12 steps in the grand stair case on Titanic.
