Although the majority of those working on the ship were people, its completion wouldn’t have been possible without the help of 20 Shire horses. A ship as large as the Titanic needs enormous anchors to hold her down. Noah Hingley & Sons Ltd, an anchor and chain manufacturing company, was commissioned to construct one center anchor and two side anchors for RMS Titanic. The center anchor totalled an incredible 15.5 tons upon completion, and the chains they forged for the ship weighed 100 more. At the time, the center anchor was the largest to ever be forged by hand. Noah Hingley & Sons was located in Netherton, United Kingdom, and the anchor needed to be transported two miles out to the Dudley Railway Station, which is when the horses came into play. It took twenty of the powerful workhorses to pull the anchor to its destination.
Like the size of the anchor suggests, the Titanic was an enormous ship. It was the world’s largest cruise liner at the time of its construction, spanning 882 feet long and 175 feet high. In total, she weighed 46,000 tons. In addition to its sheer size, the Titanic was more luxurious than any other cruise liner, with four elevators, a wireless communications system for transmitting Morse Code, and an advanced electrical control panel. RMS Titanic was capable of carrying 7,703 tons of coal in her bunkers and cargo hold. To power the ship, 176 firemen worked nonstop shovelling 600 tons of coal into the furnaces each day - creating 100 tons of ash daily, which was disposed of in the ocean.
About 26 months after the ship’s keel was laid down - March 31, 1909 - the cruise liner was ready to touch water for the first time. The RMS Titanic was a wonder of its generation and thousands of people wanted to see her launched into the sea. At 12:15 p.m. on May 31, 1911, 100,000 people crowded the Belfast dock in Ireland to watch as the Titanic was moved into the River Lagan [lag-uhn] using 22 tons of tallow and soap to lubricate its slipway. After the launch, she was towed to a deep-water fitting-out berth, where her interior construction was completed over the next year. Once she was finished, the RMS Titanic was brought back to the Belfast dock in preparation for sea trials. BIZARRE Facts About The Titanic](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e78GJuuJIj4/mqdefault.jpg)
![12 Most DANGEROUS Plants In The World!
Countdown of the most harmful plant species that you should avoid! Dont touch any of these toxic flowers, trees and bushes
#12.. “White Snakeroot”- The Ageratina altissima [ajehr-uh-teenah all-tee-seema] commonly known as the White Snakeroot or the white sanicle. The plant is an herb native to North America and is most often found in the Midwestern, United States. The White Snakeroot has thin stems and cluster of small white flowers and disperses its seed via the wind. The plant contains a chemical known as tremetol which is a form of toxic alcohol. When enough is ingested tremetol causes fatigue, digestive problems and muscle tremors, which can be fatal if not treated. Because it is frequently found in pastures, cows have been known to accidentally consume the plant which can lead to them producing toxic milk. When this milk is drank it causes an illness colloquially called ‘milk sickness’. In the 1800s, milk sickness became a minor epidemic because it’s herbal cause hadn’t yet been identified and even took the life of Abraham Lincoln’s mother Nancy.
#11. “Rhododendron”- The Rhododendron ponticum or the common Rhododendron is an evergreen shrub that has purple flowers and is a popular bush in landscaping and within the gardening community. It is found all over Europe and parts of central Asia. If the grayanotoxins [gry-an-oh that are found in Rhododendron’s nectar and pollen are consumed it can lower a person’s heart rate to a dangerous level and cause circulatory shock. The main way that humans can fall victim to this poison by eating the honey of a bee that fed off of Rhododendron flowers. The grayanotoxin is also known to cause diarrhea and be a mild hallucinogen. In ancient history it was written that the knowledge of the poisonous effects of Rhododendron honey helped King Mithridates [myth-rih-date-eez] defeat an invading Roman battalion as they invaded the Black Sea Region in 67 B.C. According to the story, the King ordered that honeycombs full of the honey be left along the trails where the Romans would be marching. The Romans gobbled them up becoming inebriated and delirious making them easy prey for the King’s Army. Rhododendron’s are especially poisonous to horses and are on the invasive species list due to its ability to grow in almost any conditions, speedy growth process and dense root system that muscles out other plants.
#10. “Lily of the Valley”- The Convallaria majalis or Lily of the Valley is an white flowering herb from the asparagus family and is the national flower of Finland. The Lily of the valley produces small red berries and its tiny flowers of the are bell-shaped and clustered at the top of the plant. It is naturally found in the Eastern United States and parts of Eurasia, but is also a frequent feature of gardens due to its pleasant aroma and growth traits that make it well-suited for filling empty patches. This delicate looking plant contains upwards of 40 different cardiac glycosides, which if consumed, will cause the sometimes fateful symptoms of migraines, disorientation, vomiting, stroke and cardiac arrest. In small quantities the glycosides can be used for medicinal purposes, but if the raw plant is eaten a hospital trip is mandatory. 12 Most DANGEROUS Plants In The World!](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eTmKFe5aN1k/mqdefault.jpg)
