In order to get full steam quickly, I ordered all hands to the stokehold. |
There are coal bunkers each side of the stokehold and each of these holds 17 tons of steaming coal. |
The stokehold vent cover aft of the funnel is also completely gone, with no evidence pointing to any remains. |

This prolonged trial revealed that the stokehold was not sufficiently ventilated and more deck openings were required. |
The stokehold was flooded with water, and Rea could do nothing. |
