TITANIC 401 ENGINE ROOM REPAIR ID TAGThis listing is for this high quality reproduction of an identification tag for parts for the White Star Liner RMS TITANIC.
If a mechanical part was damaged during a voyage, if it couldn't be repaired on board it would have to be replaced or repaired in the machine shop. The damaged part would then be tagged with this metal tag and delivered to Ismay & Imrie and Companies, machine shop in Liverpool.
The Harland & Wolff ship #401 designation, immediately identified the part as having come from the Titanic.
A new replacement part would be ordered to have on board as a spare.
Meanwhile the tagged item, would be repaired or reordered.
It may seem like an archaic sytem by today's standards buy Hey, it worked!
Sadly, none of these were ever used on Titanic, and as a result of the sinking, none survived.
If they did, they are probably in a lockbox somewhere in engineering, in the bowels of the ship.
I have included an image of an actual repair tag from the White Star Line, ship Brasilia, H&W designation number number 318.
N
ow, is your chance to own one.
Stamped 401, on the front & White Star Line Ismay Imrie Engine Works Liverpool, on the reverse.
It is really well made, very solid and substantial with some heft to it.
This would make a cool Key Ring or just a nice edition to your Titanic and White Star Line collection.
I carefully package and ship your replicas, via USPS with tracking!
