RMS TITANIC MOORING ROPE PRESENTATION We have recently acquired a piece of mooring rope we believe was used at Harland & Wolff by a Carpenter who worked on the RMS Titanic. It was owned by one of our customers Grandfathers and he was told that it was a piece of mooring rope actually used to moor the Titanic. We have a letter confirming this and a photo of the Carpenter. The note reads "This note accompanies a piece of rope 4 inches long & 2.5 inches thick which was in my possession through my family. My grandfather George Standen was a shipwright and worked on the Titanic in Belfast. My Mother told me he had said that he had worked on the Titanic and this was a piece of her mooring rope. " It obviously does not have any identifying marks so we only have this family memory as a guarantee of authenticity. It is well known that the docks were stripped for memorabilia after the loss so it seems reasonable to assume this item is correct. We have tracked the family history back from our customer, his Mothers Maiden name was Standen, right back to 1880. George Standen does appear in the 1911 England Census aged 31 with his occupation as Shipwright living in West Derby. He was born in Liverpool in 1880. We think he then made his way to Belfast and the Titanic from there. We have cut original piece into 2cm strips and produced a lovely 10 x 8 inch Black & White montage photo of the great liner.The Rope piece is enclosed in a plastic grip bag fixed in the middle of the presentation.Makes a super collectable item which we have prices very competitively.
