Series Summary
Titanic is one of the greatest maritime legends in history. When she set sail she was the largest, heaviest, most expensive and most luxurious man-made moving object on the planet.
This series explores how Titanic was built, as a team of engineers builds iconic sections of the world's most famous ship, using the methods of 100 years ago.
The team consists of Dave Wilkes, a welder who works on skyscrapers, Brendan Walker, a design engineer who has built aeroplanes, Yewande Akinola, a design engineer, and Luke Perry, a traditional metal worker.
Experiencing traditional methods gives the team extraordinary insight into the skills and working lives of the men and women who worked on the ship, during this pinnacle of British manufacturing and industry, just four generations ago.
It's the story of the men and women who built Titanic and how they lived and worked, and of skills and achievements that communities around Britain are still intensely proud of today.
