This has been rewritten, but the rewrite has removed Thomas Andrews as being the chief designer which is contrary to the books other sources I have on the subject which state him as having been the chief designer. Ben W Bell 9 July 2005 07:47 (UTC)
- I hopefully clarified Andrew's involvement MechBrowman July 9, 2005 15:28 (UTC)
The rewrite is correct. The main designers of the Olympic class ships were Lord William Pirrie, Alexander Carlisle, Thomas Andrews and Edward Wilding, in that order. The role of Andrews was much exaggerated by his many admirers after his death. Dave Gittins.
[edit] "Right Honourable"
Although the article is not about the father, it would be a good detail to amend the mention of Andrews' father so as to indicate how he came by the "Right Honourable" title ... was he a politician, a baron, what? Lawikitejana 19:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
- According to this page, he was a member of the Privy Council of Ireland; privy counsellors were entitled to the style (not title) of "Right Honourable". --Charlene 09:55, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I know Ireland's green, but...
Does anyone have access to a photograph of Andrews that isn't quite as green as the one we have? Every time I check this page for subtle vandalism I feel like I'm checking on the Grinch who Stole Christmas. I have a photograph in an old Titanic book but I don't have a proper scanner. --Charlene 07:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
