I expect shipyard drawings of the X1 exist. My first port of call would be the Sub museum at Gosport, and also worth trying the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich.

The K class submarines were a class of steam-propelled submarines of the Royal Navy designed in 1913. Intended as large, fast vessels which had the endurance and speed to operate with the battle fleet, they gained notoriety, and the nickname of Kalamity class, for being involved in many accidents. Of the 18 built, none was lost through enemy action but six sank in accidents. Only one ever engaged an enemy vessel, hitting a U-boat amidships though the torpedo failed to explode.
The boats were to be 338 ft (103 m) long and displace 1,700 tons on the surface.
Big though!
