Maritime architecture is a delicate art; even minute alterations to a ship's shape can have huge consequences for the way it behaves at sea! Today we'll look at three ships - the British warship HMS Atherstone (and the Hunt Class destroyers), the German battleships Scharnhorst & Gneisenau and the ocean line RMS Titanic - and the design errors that resulted in strange seakeeping behaviours.
