anchor

Hello forum members, Question: did Frank Browne take the tender Ireland or the tender America to Queentown’s harbour? On page 94 of the book Father Browne’s Titanic Album the America is mentioned, but I doubt whether that’s correct. One of the last photos Frank included in his famous album was...

In my family history researches, I came across a story that my paternal great-grandfather - Elijah Bloore, was involved in the making of the Titanic's anchor chains in the Midlands and the photos are from a local newspaper article about this. Does anyone recognise the photos and when, where...

Hello, I´m looking for a drawing of the Titanic´s side anchor with dimensions. Can any of you guys help ? Thanks

Was wondering about these two famous images, always named as Titanic's, but are they Olympic's instead? Anchor image both images appear in the 1911 Shipbuilder magazine, but are unnamed. I appreciate any help, thanks y'all :)

Hi everyone! I new to the forum and also new in doing research of this kind. I been working on a 3d model of the center anchor of Olympic, Titanic and also Britannic. I have now finished my 3D model of the anchor. This is my interpretation and is based on all the images and information that i...

The title to this topic might sound misleading, but i will explain in a moment. We are all familiar with the bow section of the wreck, with the iconic forward anchor crane perfectly straight forward. The theory that most of us are familiar with is from JC, when in 2001 he discovered the...

I've been trying to figure out the size of chain links for the bower anchor's. In Titanic - The Ship Magnificent, Vol. 1 p460 there's a drawing of the stud link sections indicating the very last link is 36" (91.4cm) long and the one after that is 33" (83,8cm). It is okay the last some links...

Apologies if this isn't the right thread to ask such an odd question (This has nothing to do with the Californian). I've noticed that Brass Buttons on Leyland Line Officers coats have the relief image of an "Fouled Anchor" on them. Considering some superstitions or beliefs that some feel can be...

Found this photo in a US newspaper from April 1912 reported to be the Titanic, but I can see her promenade deck is not enclosed which makes her the Olympic. Anyone know where this photo was taken and if her forward anchor is being raised or lowered? New York quarantine? .

Hello, my fifth grade class just recently completed a life size replica of Titanic's anchor made out of styrofoam and paper mache. I've included an attached picture. While it may be not be exact in design, the overall dimensions are accurate and give the students an appreciation for the size...

Twenty shire horses will tow a replica of the Titanic anchor into the Black Country town where the original was made 99 years ago. [Moderator's notes: 1. Edited post to remove article, due to copyright issues. 2. This post, originally posted in an unrelated subtopic, has been moved to here...

Hi everyone, Although new to the world of the Titanic, I have just been given a couple of postcards that may be interesting to some of you. They were both sent (in an envelope I presume) by my Grandmothers cousin to her fiancee (a Mormon missionary) who was on a mission in Birmingham...

Hi, Though my first post in this section of the site was regarding the Lusitania, I am primarily interested in collecting materials from the Anchor Line, as my family has a connection to their ships when they came to the US from Scotland. One thing that has been a continual source of...

Can anyone please tell me the approximate dimensions of the side and centre anchors ?

I am curious how the spare anchor in the bow was supposed to work. The crane looks too weak to hold it but I guess it was there only to move the anchor around. But what then? How could the anchor be dropped?

The kedge anchor on the poop deck, as well as the mini extra anchor on the starboard quarter of the forcastle fascinate me..If on the Olympic class liners, either anchor were used, where would they be attached? I cannot determine where on the poop deck the kedge anchor would be affixed...There...

I remember my brother Robert telling me something years back about the Mauretania's anchor chains being still in existence. Does anyone know any more about them?? I live not far away from Rosyth where the great ship was broken up in 1935. If they are still there I will go and see them. Also...

Here's a story that seems to have been missed by much of the media. It all started from a simple anchor problem. http://www.ports.co.za/news/article_2003_08_23_5621.html Elsewhere I see that USCG officers are on the spot and are investigating. I fancy the captain might join his ship "on...
