Follow on Google News | Own a real piece of Titanic history !White Star Momentos, Europes largest Titanic and White Star Line gift company have aquired a few Harland and Wolff timing boards - from the same shipyard that built the Titanic.
From 1861 to 1971 Harland and Wolff shipyard the same shipyard that built the Titanic used time keeping boards to keep track of how many hours each man worked per week. These boards measured one and a half inches by three inches and were made of hardwood. They also had a unique number stamped between the two teeth at the bottom of the board, eg...53267, the first two digits were for the area in the Yard that the man worked and the last three numbers were his own personal number.Any one of these boards could have been used by a man who built Titanic. White Star Momentos have aquired a limited number of these boards and for a short period are offering them to our customers at a bargin price of only £30.00 ! There are a few on sale around the Titanic outlets in Belfast but they are all over £50.00, so you are saving a full £20.00 as well as aquiring a piece of maritime history. Each board sold comes completre with it's own picture postcard showing an image of the Time keeping offices in 1910 and on the rear it gives the entire history of the boards and explains what they were used for. The one great thing about buying from White Star Momentos is that if you are a UK resident, you will not have to pay for postage - ITS FREE POST ! ( Obviously the board and number will differ from the one pictured ) End
