Netherton’s Titanic Anchor
The anchor of the ill-fated Titanic was manufactured in Netherton.
We take an in-depth look into the Black Country’s links to the Titanic.
The ill-fated ship sank on 15th April 1912 on its’ maiden voyage.
The ship’s anchor – at the time the largest in the world - was made in Netherton by the manufacturing firm Noah Hingley & Sons.
A lifesize, commemorative replica of the anchor now stands in Netherton town centre.
Russell Truran visited Birmingham historian and Titanic expert Andy Lound to find out more.
