The engineering crew were responsible for making the ship move, making sure that the engines, generators and other mechanical equipment was in good order and working. They included assistant engineers, deck engineers and the engine room crew who stoked the boilers, brought the coal to the engine room and kept the fires lit.
Their wages were the highest as they were qualified menthe education and technical expertise to operate, maintain, and repair the engineering side of the ship. An assistant deck engineer would earn between £9 and £10 per month.
All 25 engineers and 10 electricians and boilermakers were lost as they mainly stayed below in the boiler rooms, keeping the steam up to keep the generators running in order to maintain power and lights. This they did until 2 minutes before the Titanic sank. Speculation suggests that their actions kept the ship afloat for an hour, allowing the lifeboats to be launched.
A memorial to the 244 engineers, firemen, trimmers, and greasers who lost their lives during the sinking of the Titanic is located in the ships port of registry, Liverpool. It is named the Memorial to the Engine Room Heroes of the Titanic.
Lee McCubbins (or McCubbin) was living in London, and sent a post card to his mother indicating his newly aquired job as a crew member of the Titanic. Contributors Stephen Mattingly
