(at around 27 mins) The Titanic's middle propeller was powered by a Parsons steam turbine, which ran off expelled steam from the two main reciprocating engines. This meant that the turbine could only run when a full head of steam had been generated. It would not and could not have been used for maneuvering in port. Hence, the middle propeller would have been stationary when starting away from the dock.
