Thomas Andrews himself even had a hand in last minute preparations and installations as he wanted to make sure that everything was as perfect as it could be. ❤️

Titanic’s forward anchor crane/derrick was used to deploy her auxiliary anchor. It was held in place to point aft, but on the wreck it points forward. Some have speculated how it managed to spin around 180 degrees, but we will never know for sure. It continues to be one of many enduring mysteries.
