Workers Forging the Chain for the Titanic’s Anchor, 1910
In order to build the 10 deck, 46,000 ton ship that was the RMS Titanic, approximately 15,000 workers had to be brought in under the authority of Harland and Wolff, the company takes with building the majestic passenger liner. It took 26 months for construction to be complete, and one of the last pieces to be added to the boat was its anchor.
It is rumored that the center anchor for the Titanic weighs 16 tons, making it the largest forged item in history (at the time), and it was only one of three, secured to the ship. It would be interesting to see what it looks like today.
