Deep within Titanic's lowest decks lies the massive Engine Room where 25 engineers maintained the ship's power systems until the final moment. Located on Orlop Deck, 60 feet below waterline, the Engine Room housed two massive reciprocating steam engines—each standing 40 feet tall, weighing 720 tons, and generating 15,000 horsepower. Between them sat the low-pressure turbine engine generating an additional 16,000 horsepower. The engineering crew consisted of: Chief Engineer Joseph Bell, 8 Assistant Engineers, 6 Junior Engineers, 2 Electricians, and 8 Engine Room Artificers—25 men total responsible for maintaining power, lights, pumps, and communications.

The engineering crew's sacrifice was absolute: 25 engineers, 25 deaths—100% fatality rate. Chief Engineer Joseph Bell age 50, Senior Second Engineer William Farquharson age 40, Junior Second Engineer John Henry Hesketh age 29—all died ensuring passengers had light, warmth, and communication. Their heroism allowed 710 survivors to be rescued because wireless stayed powered, lifeboats could be loaded under lights, and pumps delayed sinking by precious minutes. The Engine Room stands as memorial to engineering duty where 25 men chose death at their posts over survival. ⚙️🔧
