Moving the Titanic anchor with 20 Shire horses
Jonathan Smith is a Titanic expert and researcher and as well as describing the moving of a full size replica of one of the Titanic's anchors by 20 Shire horses in 2010, he also tells us about the process of preparing the anchor's before they were moved to Belfast.
This is a longer version of the anchor pull from the new DVD 'A Life Working with Heavy Horses' by Avalon Video, which is all about how Shire horses are used by Jonathan Waterer of 'Simply Shires', who is also heard describing what he had to do to make this very difficult pull work. All of the video and still shots used were also supplied by Jonathan Smith. The full DVD can be purchased from www.avalonvideo.co.uk
