Famed Belfast-born shipbuilder, Head Designer and Chief Draughtsman at Harland and Wolff. Responsible for cordinating the designs for the "Titanic" and "Olympic," Carlisle had planned to add additional lifeboats to the ships although White Star rejected these plans. Carlisle did not argue the point presumably because the ships exceeded the Board of Trade regulations with the twenty boats they carried. Alexander Carlisle retired from Harland & Wolff in 1910. He gave evidence at the Board of Enquiry in 1912 regarding the designed lifeboat capacity of Titanic. (bio by: Kieran Smith)
