"A man always has two reasons for doing anything: a good reason and the REAL reason." - J.P. Morgan.

On March 31st, 1911, the famed RMS Titanic was launched from her homeport of Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK.

With a popping of a champagne bottle on the rather magnificent steel hull, the glorious RMS Titanic began its journey after 3 years of hard construction, much blood and a lot of steel and iron, thanks to its architect, Irish shipbuilder Thomas Andrews Jr.

Her inside was magically luxurious: she had a Grand Staircase, with Honor and Glory on its beautiful clock, with Roman Numerals, a First-Class smoking room, a Lounge, and much more in store for the rich, including on D Deck, which included the Reception Room.

She was classified as "UNSINKABLE", which many people seemed to believe; a prophetic statement, yet she had 16 strong watertight compartments, which were heavy steel-plated doors, that could shut at any moment, including with water getting in the ship.

As for the bridge, it had 2 wheelhouses: one inside, the other out. The one inside was used for main purposes along the journey to New York, a long way away, whilst for the outside wheel, it was used for when the ship was near land, and it also had telegraphs to command the engines whether to stop, slow down, half speed or go all ahead full.

As for the Engine Room, it was full of steady engines, made sure by veteran engineers and new engineers, and for the Boiler Rooms, they were the lifeline of the ship, her lungs, as coal was the necessary resource at the time to keep a ship moving, stokers working hard hours and some were veterans, too.

As for the third-class cabins, they were filled with double-decker bunks; good enough for 4 people to fit in. There were many other rooms alongside one, going along with what the crew called "Scotland Road", a mile-long pathway.

As for many other rooms, including the Mail and Baggage Room, which held passengers' mail and baggage, and the Cargo Holds, which held more exquisite cargo, it was good enough.

For the Crow's Nest, it was guarded by 2 lookouts per shift. They would have binoculars, or in this case, the naked eye to guide them in the dark of night, as the naked eye could also be useful during the day, but the binoculars were elsewhere at that current moment in time.

Finally, for the Wireless Room, this was the telecommunications part of the ship that sent important messages to the mainland that seemed far away if you were in the middle of the Atlantic and of the grandeur and dirty world far beyond... and this is where our grand story of the 4 Wireless Operators of the Titanic begins.
