Pull up a deckchair
A century later, more information is publicly available about the Titanic than ever before. In recent decades researchers have pieced together vast knowledge from available blueprints, the limited amount of photos, the wreck itself, anecdotal evidence and ephemera, as well as comparisons with the sister ships Olympic and Britannic. The TRMA site is a trove of this information, the thick two-volume tome 'Titanic The Ship Magnificent' brings much of this current expertise together, and there are highly researched CAD deckplans available. There continues to be updates and new things coming to light as researchers edge closer to more conclusive information. It should also be noted that the focus of most of this work being mentioned here is the ship itself - a colossal feat of Edwardian engineering and design - rather than a macabre fascination in the sinking.
The set of graphics on this site have two different purposes: the original idea was to make printable sections which could be used to put some interior detail into a model - initially the 1/350 - albeit there being only a few areas visible externally which would be worthwhile doing, mainly the Private Promenades and the Cafe Parisien. But then a bit of 'mission creep' took hold, and I became interested in further interior areas, and what could be accurately recreated. So some of these images have been prepared, resized and adapted specifically for the 1/350 Minicraft model, though these have lost a lot of detail to be made that small (however some may still work OK at larger scales). Others are closer attempts at accuracy, for using at larger scales. Although intended to be printed, most could be used in 3D computer modelling.
