Hello,
Not to be awkward (  ), but Britannic was eighteen inches wider and not two feet; her extreme breadth being 94 feet compared to Olympic-Titanic's 92 feet 6 inches.She was not wider due to the 'inner skin' because her width was finalised in October 1911, long before the 1912 redesign -- although it is a common mistake. One misconception arose from the ship's H&W specification book. Simon Mills pointed out that the specification book recorded the ship's width as 93 feet 6 inches, whereas the British registry in 1914 recorded her width at 94 feet; in reality, one measurement is the 'moulded' breadth/width and the other is the 'extreme'. However, the six-inch discrepency has led people to assume that six inches was added in the redesign, which wasn't the case. Best wishes, Mark. |

Hi Edward9139,
I understand what you were saying now, but have no idea why you said it. Surely, everyone just posts when they can? It doesn't really matter. Best wishes, Mark. |

Learn something new every day! Mark, you always enlighten me to my simple mistakes, and I do appreciate, because i don't like having the wrong information. I've always been interested in Britannic, but there is not enough books written on her. I bow down to the master of all knowledge of Britannic..lol
