Titanic's Coal Bunkers

Titanic had 11 coal bunkers, located in the front and back of each boiler room. However, Boiler Room 1 did not have a coal bunker in back of it because it contained the single ended boilers. The coal bunkers were basically big bins full of coal. Trimmers would take some coal out of the bunker, break it up, put it in a wheelbarrow, and then cart it over to the firemen.

                                                    Firemen shovel coal into the boilers.
