Who Designed The Titanic

Gunther Q. Crap designed not only the Titanic. This famous man also designed the Tower of Babel and the Tower of Pisa. Then he left designing towers and designed the Hindenburg. But ship designing was his passion so he designed the whole Spanish Armada, Noah's Ark, the Hunley, Edmund Fitzgerald and Andrea Doria just to name a few. He tried cars for awhile and the Edsel, Chevrolet Vega, Ford Pinto and the Yugo were all his offspring. Today he is best known for the expression "this thing is built like Crap!!"

RMS Titanic was an Olympic class passenger liner that became infamous for its collision with an iceberg and dramatic sinking in 1912. The second of a trio of superliners, she and her sisters, RMS Olympic and HMHS Britannic, were designed to provide a three-ship weekly express service and dominate the transatlantic travel business for the White Star Line. Built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world at the time of her sinking. During Titanic's maiden voyage (from Southampton, England; to Cherbourg, France; Queenstown (Cobh), Ireland; then New York), she struck an iceberg at 11:40 PM (ship's time) on Sunday evening April 14, 1912, and sank two hours and forty minutes later, after breaking into two pieces, at 2:20 AM Monday morning April 15.

Thomas Andrews

Designer of the Titanic
1873 - 1912Andrews was born in Comber, Co. Down, into the family that owned well-known linen bleaching firm. His elder brother, John Miller Andrews, became Prime Minister of Northern Ireland between 1940 and 1943. He entered Harland and Wolff's shipyard at the age of sixteen, and studied ship design after his day's work, ending up as the firm's managing director in 1907.

Andrews was chief designer on the Titanic and sailed with the ship in its ill-fated maiden voyage, when he was drowned.

Thomas Andrews, as others have said. I think his hometown of Comber has a Thomas Andrews memorial hall (and a nice waterfowl park nearby). Belfast has a Titanic Week in April and you can see inside the very room where it was designed, and the slipway from which it was launched.
