Today’s #Archive30 theme is #misconceptions. One historical misunderstanding is that not only did we class the #Titanic, but it was also built in excess of our rules. Both claims were false and promoted LR to submit a rebuttal in The Times. The only items that LR inspected were the vessel’s anchors, the largest of which weighed 16 tons.

#OTD in 1947 the industrialist Henry Ford passed away. #DidYouKnow that in 1915 he chartered a vessel, the Oscar II or the 'Peace Ship', to Europe in the futile hope that he could negotiate an armistice. Unfortunately, the group of pacifists that joined Ford garnered more publicity for their infighting than for their original cause. The press mockingly called the vessel the ‘Ship of Fools’
Below is a photo of the vessel and a cartoon of the press' opinion of that denigrated voyage.

Today’s #Archive30 theme is #FamousArchives. Thankfully for LR, we have surveyed some of the most famous ships in history. We hold the records for the rival clippers Cutty Sark and the Thermopylae, and also the liners Mauretania and QEII.
An interesting document for the Mauretania is this letter from the Cunard Line, who are notifying our Liverpool office that they have lost an important Certificate of Approval.

#OTD in 1915 the pre-dreadnought battleship HMS Irresistible was mined during the Dardanelles campaign. She was laid down in 1898 at Chatham Dockyard, with a displacement of 15,800 long tons and 12” thick armour. Once struck by the mine, she faced heavy Ottoman gunfire and was therefore abandoned.

We have just begun digitizing our vast collection of internal staff publications. If you’re interested in LR’s institutional history, which covers our relationship with London and the wider world, or maritime history and engineering these texts will be a fascinating read. 🤩
What’s better is that if you worked for us over the last half-century or so, it’s possible that you’ll find a photograph of yourself at one of our many events, charity days or features. 📸
The entire collection should be available in the coming months.

We did intend to return to Greenwich this Saturday, with our VR experience, as part of #BritishScienceWeek. However, we've unfortunately had to cancel our participation due to recent developments regarding the Coronavirus.
⚽ Tonight’s big football match is a perfect opportunity to appreciate a ship with close ties to Liverpool. ⚽
In 1932, LR classed the MV Georgic: the last ever ship built for the White Star Line before it merged with rival company the Cunard Line.
The 216m long vessel served the Liverpool to New York route up until 1940. Then, she was converted into a troopship for WWII until she was bombed and sunk in 1941.
Below you'll find a clip announcing the completion of the vessel

As #toiletpapercrisis is trending it's worth noting the dilemmas faced by 19th century British migrants to Australia. Before the days of widespread loo roll availability, many voyagers had to not only use communal toilets but also wipe with a communal rug doused in vinegar. 🧻
Such ships might have included the LR-classed Loch Ness, which voyaged to Australia from Glasgow in 1886. More information on this ship can be found here 👉 http://ow.ly/YUqe50yCzRD

Sorry for being late with the #StDavidsDay celebrations but here’s an interesting historical anecdote for you.

As its #ScouseDay it’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the Merseyside’s history of shipbuilding. 🔨 🏗
On our website, we have ship plans and reports of almost 3000 vessels belonging to the region. 🚢 One of the most famous vessels is the RMS Mauretania, which was at the time the largest and fastest ship in the world. We also have reports for the Fullagar, the world’s first all-welded ship!

To continue on from yesterday’s Arctic theme, one extraordinary ship that LR surveyed was the HMS Hecla.
The bomb vessel, launched in 1815, was one of the defining ships of British exploration. It voyaged three times to the Arctic in search of the Northwest Passage. Unfortunately, by the time surveyor Walter Paton came across the ship the vessel was virtually unknown.
As a corrective, our colleague Max wrote a fascinating in-depth tripartite blog that once again celebrates this remarkable ship. Check it out here 👉 http://ow.ly/VnV450yweMk
For our surveyors in the arctic you could say every day is #PancakeDay. That’s because they would have voyaged through untold numbers of pancake ice: circular formations of ice that can be up to 10ft in diameter #DidYouKnow #10ftPancakes #Maritime #ships #ShroveTuesday
What is the least appropriate name to give to a warship? 🤔
One contender must be the Royal Navy’s HMS Dainty. Built along the Clyde in 1932, the destroyer had a range of not so delicate armaments; including 4 x QF Mark IX guns, anti-aircraft defences and 2 torpedo tubes. She served during WW2 and was sunk #OTD in 1941 when hit by a 1,000 lb German bomb #maritime #history #ships
Happy #LoveYourPetDay! Try to love your pets as much as this captain’s family, who brought along not only their two pet dogs but also their cockatoo 🐶🐥
The vessel they are on is the Mount Stewart, which was classed by LR in 1891 and built in Glasgow. Click here to see more documents for this vessel 👉http://ow.ly/rLIv50yskRy
#OTD in 1902 the Royal Navy laid down the first ever British designed and built submarine the HMS A1. The vessel, which never saw active service, sank twice: the first due to a collision and the second due to a hydrogen explosion. HMS A1 is now a historic wreck situated near the coast of West Sussex. Interestingly the term A1, although not used in this context, is a term coined by LR which denotes a vessel of exceptional quality. #maritime #history #navy #heritage
Even I was surprised to learn that our Fenchurch Street offices were the scene of a robbery. In March 1975, four criminals attacked security guards delivering LR staff’s weekly wages. They weren’t the most adept crooks as one of the robbers shot themselves in the leg 🤦 Our colleague Sean has put together this rather suspenseful film depicting the incident 📽 #history #police #crime

#DidYouKnow that the famous HMS Beagle was built in Woolwich Dockyard. Founded in 1512 by Henry VIII, the dockyard was an integral part of naval shipbuilding until its closure in 1869. Even after this date the area still welcomed many noteworthy ships. This video shows HMS Impregnable coming to be broken up in 1921. The vessel was the Royal Navy’s last extant three-decker wooden battleship #DarwinDay #Woolwich #WednesdayWisdom #maritime #history
LR since its inception has always been committed to engineering a safer world. This has been facilitated by the contributions of many remarkable women; be they engineers, mathematicians or surveyors.

One #Oscar worth celebrating is the life of Oscar Parkes. Born in 1885, Parkes was a naval historian, Royal Navy surgeon, and celebrated painter. In 1919 Oscar was the official naval artist of the Imperial War Museum. Some of his beautiful illustrations you can see below. 🎨
He was also an associate of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects, a substantial collection of which resides within our archives 👉 http://ow.ly/nwe050yi2Zu

#WednesdayMotivation from #ProjectUndaunted! The RMS Magdalena ran aground near Brazil on her 1949 maiden voyage. Insurers paid £2.3m to her owners-the largest in UK maritime history. Listing the damage, the newspaper ends; 'but bottles of beer remain unbroken.' What a relief!

A special Facebook Friday for you...a look at the research behind our new project - HEC needs you! www.lrfoundation.org.uk/public_education/Staff-bible-project/ Started in August, the HEC team began researching the 15 members of staff named in our First World War Memorial at our Fenchurch Street office. Using resources from our archive, including staff bibles, minutes of General Committee meetings, and cricket club histories, the team gathered as much information that our archives provided. As you can see in the video, we even had copies of the War Memorial brochure, which was handed out at its unveiling in 1921! However, our material could only tell so much. This meant the team had to scour the web, creating forums and emailing memorial groups looking for any information on the 15 men. The response was overwhelming! Within two days of the project's launch, the website had been viewed several hundred times and we received 30+ enquiries! Today we're proud to say we've surpassed 1,500 page views. Over the coming weeks, we'll be updating each member of staff's portal, as well as adding new details about LR and the First World War, so be sure to watch this space!
