Titanic's Smokestacks

Featured

The RMS Titanic is one of the most famous ships in history, its image instantly recognizable. Many recall its distinctive silhouette, including the number of smokestacks, but often miscount.

What People Remember

People often remember the Titanic having five smokestacks.

What's Actually True

The Titanic had four smokestacks, but only three of them were functional. The fourth (aftmost) smokestack was a dummy, added purely for aesthetic balance to make the ship look more powerful and symmetrical.
