http://www.lessons-from-history.com/Level%203/Titanic%20Blueprints.html

  • Titanic was built up of 9 horizontal decks that comprised of Deck's A through G, and the Orlop and Tanktop Decks.
  • The First Class Dining Room on D deck was 114 foot long and spanned the full width of the ship.
  • Seating 532 passengers at once, it was the largest dining room ever seen on a ship.
  • This design flaw proved to be catastrophic as water spilled from compartment to compartment, like water being poured into an ice cube tray from one end.
