The Titanic gantry; a gantry is a crane system that maneuvers over the top of a ship in the dockyard carrying materials and workers to the heights and depths of building ships.

The Titanic’s 220-foot Gantries were custom built to meet the needs of such a monstrous vessel and can be seen here.

Internal Construction

A rare view of Titanic’s internal construction, 1910.

The largest luxury cruise vessel of its time, the ship was designed to be the biggest and highest quality ship available; had everything from an indoor pool, to a diner, to three different classes for passengers.
