Never Before Seen Color Photos of The Titanic

Horses Did The Transporting

Building the Titanic was far from easy, and sources say around three thousand workers shed blood, sweat, and tears to bring the ship to life. Back then, they didn’t have all the advanced machinery that made tasks like transporting parts easy.

The anchor of the ship almost 16 tons, and since there were no big cars or trucks at that time, they had to make use of horses. One horse didn’t do the job, for they had to use twenty horses to transport the anchor from the Netherton forge shop to the railway station in Dudley. It then traveled to Fleetwood by rail, until finally getting to Belfast via ship.
