Titanic size disputed by expert Joseph Conrad
The Revelist master machinist Joseph Conrad argues in the English Review that the Titanic’s great size is unsafe. He says ships cannot be built infinitely large, citing 8000 versus 40000 tons, and predicts future seamanship will rely on clever engineering rather than sheer scale. He suggests Board of Trade inspections could be tightened to curb overlarge vessels.
