I am currently trying to sort out the disposition of the forwardmost shrouds on HMHS Britannic's first funnel.
Plans show them crossing across the midline forming an "X". The Britannic builders model shows them travelling directly forward to their belaying point at the forward end of the officers quarters. I'm aware of most of the photos of HMHS Britannic. Does know of a photo or source which would clear this up. The revised rigging plan for HMHS Britannic in Simon Mills book does not have a revised plan view. Any help would be appreciated.
