the avanti group engineering reviews When the Titanic went down she took with her the lives of many brave people including her entire complement of engineers under the control of Joseph Bell, the Chief Engineer Officer. His staff consisted of 24 engineers, 6 electrical engineers, two boilermakers, a plumber and his clerk. In addition many of the firemen and coal trimmers were lost. Despite the library of books which has been written about Titanic the engineers, the role they played and the ultimate sacrifice they made, have received scant comment in these published works. The reason for this could be the fact that no engineer survived and so there was no verbal evidence of the role they played. The evidence of their important role is, however, plain to see for the ship stayed afloat longer than it would have done had they not sacrificed their lives for the good of others. This brief note attempts to explain what the engineers did during those crucial hours before the ship foundered and in presenting this information it is hoped that the bravery of these men will be acknowledged by all who have studied the ship and its brief history. This document dealing with Titanic`s engineers is divided into the following sections: I. Engineers` Duties 2. The Collision 3. After the Collision 4. Engineers` Purple Engineers` Duties All ships of the period had an engineering routine and this varied from company to company but for any steam ship there was a need to keep well manned watches in engine and boiler rooms. A large passenger liner like the Titanic needed a number of engineers on each watch {12 to 4, 4 to 8 and 8 to 12, am and pm} these men supervising the firemen, greasers and coal trimmers and tending the machinery/boilers under their control. Engineers would have been on duty in the boiler rooms and the engine rooms (reciprocating engines and turbine). The Chief Engineer would not have kept a watch but the majority of the other engineers would have done so. There were si

the avanti group In the latest of our series commemorating the life and work of people honoured with blue plaques, Adam Sonin explores the fascinating history of soap manufacturer and philanthropist William Lever. Soap-boiler, social reformer, MP, tribal chieftain, multi-millionaire and Lord of the Western Isles. He employed workmen from the Mersey to the Congo and they all called him 'Chief'. His peers knew him as William Lever, later to become first Viscount Leverhulme. When he was made a Baronet in 1911 he chose the motto Mutare Vel Timere Sperno: "I spurn to change or fear." Throughout his life his favourite novel was Charles Dickens' David Copperfield (1850). He owned a string of grand houses packed full of antiques, artworks and treasures, all "guarded" by tiger-skin rugs. He was known to often sleep outdoors, in all weathers, and on a simple iron bed. Evelyn Waugh, a near neighbour, described his house, then under construction, as "Italianite". His model village, Port Sunlight, near his soapworks in Birkenhead, ranks alongside Henrietta Barnett's Hampstead Garden Suburb as one of England's great experiments in town planning. Barnett was also a near neighbour. The food manufacturer, Sir Angus Watson (1874-1961), described him as "thickset in stature, with a sturdy body set on short legs and a massive head covered with thick, upstanding hair, he radiated force and energy". Sir Angus continued: "He had piercing, blue-grey eyes which, however, flashed with challenge when he was angry," and "the short neck and closely-set ears of a prize-fighter". William Hesketh Lever, first Viscount Leverhulme (1851-1925), soap manufacturer and philanthropist, was born on 19 September, at 16 Wood Street, Bolton. Seven years earlier, writing in The Condition Of The Working Class In England, Friedrich Engels (1820-1895) described the town as "one of the worst in Britain... badly and irregularly built, with foul courts, lanes and back al
