| Summary |
The engineers unleash the force that made Titanic a technological marvel: electricity. They bring to life her century-old electrical gadgetry, including one of her massive electric ovens, and use it to host a first class dinner for some descendents of those who were aboard Titanic's maiden voyage. For most Britons in 1912, electricity was the stuff of science fiction: homes were still lit by gas lamps, and coal provided the fuel for cooking and heating. But aboard Titanic, four huge electric generators pumped out more power than most land-based power stations of the day. (From the UK) (Documentary Series) (Part 3 of 5) PG (S) CC |
