   Titanic's LBP was 850' and her full load mean draft was 34.5', so her longitudinal area on the centerline was 29,325ft 2; this must be reduced by 455 ft 2. This is the area of the cutaway forefoot (13ft high by 70 ft. long). Thus her effective hull area on the centerline is 28,870 ft 2. Her rudder area ( using Simpson's Rule) was 401.63ft 2.

It was controlled using two steering engines (one backup) connected via tillers to the rudder quadrant. Some have argued that Titanic’s rudder was far too small for the job and contributed to her inability to avoid disaster.

Hello everyone, I was looking at Imperator's rudder today, and I asked myself whether the reason why some might deem Titanic's rudder too small, was because it was deliberate decision by the engineers at Harland & Wolff.

   • So Titanic's rudder would be very slightly too small. In each case, the amount the rudder is too small is minor, so it probably didn't influence the outcome significantly. Particularly when you take into account other activities like stopping or reversing the engines and lag time for the steering engine to put the rudder over.

   Should rudder anodes be represented in Titanic photos?

   • As @Tsm209 noted in an earlier post, there are discrepancies in how some folks think the rudder anodes should be represented. Robert Read shows a “double-wide” version rather than what is seen in most historic Titanic photos. It may be that Mr. Read has access to other photos and/or documentation that he used to source his drawings.
