The fourth funnel of the RMS Titanic was fake designed to make the ship look more powerful and symmetrical.

  • True
  • False
Explanation

The statement is false. The fourth funnel of the RMS Titanic was not fake; it was fully functional and served a purpose, though it didn't function as a traditional funnel for exhaust gases. The fourth funnel was actually a ventilator used to release steam from the ship's kitchens and engine rooms. It was designed to maintain proper ventilation and prevent excessive heat and smoke build-up. Although the fourth funnel did contribute to the ship's overall symmetrical appearance, it was not merely for aesthetic purposes.
