Have they installed the proper number of Life Airboats?

Well, as many as the Board of Trade required, based on displacement. Ask Ismay; he knows.

Airship Titanic?

What a great picture!

Woo!

Beautiful. I'd like to be up there right now.

I sudder to think what that chap is seeing through his telescope.

Garnet_Psaltery: Air Kraken carrying ice bergs, of course.

nods.

Very pretty picture, but I must be in a critical mood, since I find strange that one would hold a field-glass to one's left eye with the right hand...

He's right handed and lost his right eye in a duel with sky pirates.

(Frankly, I'm a little surprised that you did not see that, it being practically written into the picture)

They look like binoculars to me.

Ms. Garnet, if they are binocular, how does his right thumb show on the left side? Or is he really holding them from under? Try it, to see if you could! I do like Mr. Kronfeld's explanation, though!

Well, perhaps he's just peculiar.
