Set includes 2 skylights.
This pair of models represents a likely configuration of two vented skylights that builder's notes and drawings indicate were fit to the roof of RMS Olympic's Funnel # 4's deckhouse. There is insufficient information available to confirm whether or not sisterships RMS Titanic or HMHS Britannic were fit with these skylights.
The skylights and integrated vent ducts provided light and fresh air to the galley and engine room below. The two boxy vent ducts extending forward from the skylights were connected directly to motorized fan housings serving two cowl vents positioned on the deckhouse roof.
No specific drawings or photos are known to exist of the skylights in detail. Therefore, the design of these model skylights is somewhat conjectural. The design is consistent with depictions of the skylights and vent ducts by noted Titanic artist Vasilije Ristovic based on research by Cyril Codus, and other research by Bob Read.
