@centralcrossing4732 I am doing well, too. And I hope your Fourth Of July will be spectacular, as Canada Day was for myself, here. Take care, and all the best.
@@timothyhh Partially. When looking at the design concepts of Imperator, the C-deck recess was not included. The number of lifeboats changed from image to image with all being located on the boat deck. Hamburg America was looking into options regarding lifeboats before the Titanic's loss just because the ship's capacity was above 5,000. The recess was decided on after the Titanic's loss as a means of dispersing a number that was not only able to match, but surpass the necessary number needed.
Quirky behavior of giant liners; Lusitania would dig her nose in, Imperator had her list.
Information packed video, thanks for posting!
Albert Ballin supposedly remarked on the Imperator that "It was a first class hotel and a third class ship "!
That is a strange remark for him to make a statement like that. Considering he is the Managing Director of Hamburg America Line.
Fascinating stuff.
Quit some mishaps prior and during its maiden voyage....
Very nice, can't believe, I'm first, and early, so far that I know.
I hope your Summer is doing great.
Take care, and all the best.
@@christophersnyder1532 First or not, I know to look for what you add in every video. I'm doing great, how about yourself?
Thank you.

Were the C Deck lifeboats a late addition to the design in the aftermath of the Titanic?
