- Originally the Titanic's design was for three funnels and four masts
- Lord James Pirri felt that four funnels would make her look much better.
- also some people felt that it would be safer
- The number of masts was reduced to two, one fore and one aft
- The first-class dining room was to have a large dome but this was changed to a normal ceiling
- The spa was reduced in size and the gymnasium was moved to the boat-deck.
- The titanics keel was laid down on March 31st, 1909 at Harland and Wolff Shipbuilding in Belfast.
- The rudder weighed 101 tons and was made from six separate parts.
- The 3 anchors weighed a total of 31 tons. It took 20 horses to haul one anchor.
