Creator's Key Takeaways
this concept was known simply as design d and it would go on to lay out what would become the olympic and the titanic
the basic layout stayed almost the same but there are a few key differences between what was outlined in 1908 and the finished ships
originally titanic and olympic were intended to carry just one mast
the group of boats was split into two on top of this and most importantly olympic and titanic's lifeboat capacity was slightly increased

On July 29, 1908, a party of four White Star Line directors were presented a detailed blueprint for an exciting new series of ships to be constructed by Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. This blueprint - known as the 'Design D' concept - would lay the foundation for what would become the Olympic, Titanic and Britannic. in this video I review some of the key changes that were implemented to the design - and one that was re-instated for the final liner.
