Description: ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING LETTERS IN WHITE STAR LINE HISTORY AS IT MENTIONS BOTH TITANIC & GIGANTIC! THIS REPRINTED LETTER FROM L SPEARMAN OF THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILY IS ADDRESSED TO MESSERS N. HINGLEY & SONS, LTD. (NOAH HINGLEY & SONS BUILT THE ANCHORS AND ANCHOR CHAINS FOR TITANIC IN THEIR BLACK COUNTRY INDUSTRIES FOUNDRY.) THE LETTER IS DATED NOVEMBER 12, 1911 PRE-TITANIC SAILING. IN THIS LETTER, SPEARMAN, IS INFORMING HINGLEY THAT THE RAILROAD AND CROSS CHANNEL STEAMERS GROSSLEY UNDER QUOTED THE COST OF TRANSPORTING TITANIC'S ANCHOR AND SO THIS TIME THE SHIPPING COSTS FOR THE S.S. GIGANTIC'S ANCHOR TO BELFAST WILL BE CONSIDERABLY MORE, AND THAT HE HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN BRINGING ABOUT A MODIFICATION OF COST. PRETTY DARN COOL PIECE OF HISTORY (EVEN IF IT IS A REPRINT) AS IT MENTIONS BOTH SHIPS ON THE SAME PAGE. IT IS ALSO PROOF THAT AT ONE TIME BRITTANIC WAS GOING TO BE CALLED GIGANTIC. I AM ALSO INCLUDING A NICE REPRINT OF TITANIC'S ANCHOR & ANOTHER IMAGE OF THE ANCHOR BEING DRIVEN BY DRAFT HORSES TO THE RAILWAY FROM NETHERTON-DUDLEY. THESE IMAGES MEASURE 8.5 X 11 INCHES & ARE PRINTED ON 65LB CARD STOCK. THEY LOOK GREAT AND WILL DISPLAY WELL IN YOUR COLLECTION.THEY WILL BE PLACED IN PROTECTIVE SLEEVES, THEN SANDWICHED BETWEEN 2 CHIPBOARDS & FINALLY PLACED IN A KRAFT STAY-FLAT MAILER FOR SECURITY. I SHIP VIA USPS WITH TRACKING. THANKS FOR LOOKING. PLEASE CHECK BACK OFTEN AS I AM ADDING NEW ITEMS EVERY DAY!
