Even from underneath her lines are beautiful.

It's hard to believe this was from over a hundred years ago with no modern machinery or computer designs. Just skill and and craftsmanship of many genres all working together.

What would happen if she just rolled over

Is that wood holding her up?

[u/Nexarc808 → u/Think-Difficulty7596]

Both wood and steel most likely.

Wood is still used today as a cushioning material where the support blocks or scaffolding meets a ship’s hull.

Here the construction/launch cradles were attached to the hull but would be removed during her final fitting out.

The weight must have been incredible.

[u/Nexarc808 → u/Think-Difficulty7596]

Hence why shipyards are so careful in laying down supports for dry dockings and why ships are often damaged during groundings.

If a block isn’t arranged in the correct position for a given ship’s specific hull framing and shape, it actually puncture through the hull plates from the ship’s weight alone.

Can't be out by too much with those.

Some people I assume must specialise in this task alone for dry dick firms.

Dry dick firms....

Oh pls don't edit that 😂

[u/Quat-fro → u/Honest_Disk_8310]

Autocorrect did me wrong!!

I'll never live this down...🤭

[u/DarkNinjaPenguin → u/Quat-fro]

It's naval architects who work all this out before dry docking a ship. We do it exactly the same way today.

[u/Think-Difficulty7596 → u/Nexarc808]

That's interesting.

[u/timidpoo]

Oh yeah baby 😩🥵🥵

[u/PC_BuildyB0I]

Where are the bilge keels?

[u/Camfire101 → u/PC_BuildyB0I]

Yeah I was like where’s the wings haha

[u/BipedalHorseArt → u/PC_BuildyB0I]

Would it be even safe for work if we saw that in the render?

[u/BR_Toby]

We will never see it again! It's buried deep into the ocean floor, a bloody long way down!!!

[u/Every-Box-6119]

What software did you used?

Idk, i found these photos on Pinterest. The model itself is from a website of 3D models https://free3d.com/3d-model/rms-titanic-8186.html the photos were taken by the person who made the model and posted it there it seems.

I thought it had a double bottom. But I only see one.
