> Actually, Andrews was only convinced that his original design was unsinkable. He expressed grave misgivings about the ship as actually built, after Ismay had removed several safety features (such as bulkheads to contain hull breaches) to reduce costs, and severely reduced the number of lifeboats to provide cleaner lines.

Ah, now see, that I did not know. Interesting. Thank you for letting me know that. I appreciate it. And there's the third of the 2 out of 3 dying trend. I thought Ismay made it on to a lifeboat, but I wasn't sure. Thankee.

Either way, I still got into the show, and it's a regional touring production, and I have a pretty big part in a pretty big musical, so, this is a big thing for me. I'm excited.
