In comparison to the crew, the propellers
This photo of the Titanic’s crew standing next to the ship’s propellers shows how massive the ship was. The propellers were a whopping 23 feet in diameter. They each weighed 38 tons.
These propellers were the world’s largest at the time. Even in today’s world, no ship has ever had propellers as large as these. The ship’s weight may have contributed to its rapid sinking after colliding with the iceberg.
