11. Pronounced Sheer
Unlike the original Titanic, the replica will not have a sheer, or camber. A pronounced sheer was often a cosmetic feature of ocean liners of the time, thought to add a graceful appearance to the hull of the ship. However, the addition of a sheer also made work more difficult, which translated into more costly, construction.
The Titanic II will have an upwards rake added to the C deck at the bow and stern, which will give the ship a superficial appearance, though an inauthentic wedge-shaped gap had to be added between decks C and D to produce this visual effect.
