Belfast - Titanic Design

Titanic Hotel Belfast
Titanic Model

 The Titanic would be 289 metres  (883 feet) long, 28 metres (93 feet) wide, and 18 metres (59 feet) high from the waterline. The structure would consist of 8 decks above a double bottom and the vessel would have four funnels. The ship would weigh over 46,000 tons.

Titanic could carry 3,547 passengers and crew.

 

 

The ship would be powered by two reciprocating four-cylinder, triple-expansion steam engines and one low-pressure Parsons turbine, which powered three propellers. This would give Titanic a top speed of 23 knots (43 kmh; 26 mph)To drive the engines there would be 29 boilers fired by 159 coal burning furnaces. The ship had three functional funnels, the fourth was to make the ship look more impressive than her rivals.

 

Titanic would have eight main decks built on a double plated bottom, and topped by the boat deck.

 The ship would be traversed by 15 major traverse bulkheads dividing the vessel into 16 watertight compartments. The front two bulkheads rose to the level of D deck, the remainder reached to E deck. 

The watertight compartments had doors that would close automatically if the water level reached a certain height. The ship was designed so that it could remain afloat if any two of the compartments were flooded or if the first four were flooded.

The decks consisted of:





     Boat Deck
A- Promenade Deck
B- Bridge Deck
C- Shelter Deck
D- Saloon Deck
E- Upper Deck
F- Middle Deck
G- Lower Deck
     Orlop Deck
     Tank Top
