Block of wood removed Harland & Wolff’s Engine Works, measuring 2.75˝ x 3.25˝ x 2˝, with a "Harland & Wolff, Titanic, Belfast" plaque affixed to the front. Includes a metal display stand, the original box, and a certificate of authenticity from Harland & Wolff, in part: "This block has been removed from the floor of the Harland and Wolff Engine Works on which the Titanic reciprocating engines were built and tested…The blocks were all cut by saw and therefore all vary slightly in size. They are dark brown in colour and over the years have been stained by oil and paint. The blocks are heavy and dense, their strength being a necessary requirement for the Works floor. Each block has grooves cut in the base to allow for a batten to be placed to hold them together in groups. The individual blocks were necessary so that under engine test conditions each block could vibrate independently." In fine condition.
