The boiler rooms, of which there are six aboard the Titanic, are where the ship's 29 coal-fired boilers are housed. Of these 29 boilers, 24 were double-ended and 5 single-ended. Altogether, they contained a total of 159 furnaces. The boilers were 4.80 metres (15.7 ft) in diameter and 20 feet (6.1 m) long, each weighing 91.5 tonnes (202,000 lb) and capable of holding 48.5 tons of water. They were fed around the clock by 179 firemen and consumed 600 tonnes (1,300,000 lb) of coal a day.
