Riding an electric car: how the passengers of the Titanic and other liners trained
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/riding-an-electric-car-how-the-passengers-of-the-titanic-and-other-liners-trained.htmlThe journey from Europe to America on an ocean liner at the beginning of the XX century took almost a week. It is clear that the passengers needed something to occupy this time. Someone spent hours in restaurants, someone slept, someone read. And the most advanced, struggling with boredom, went to gyms.
The Titanic was equipped with the best sports equipment: the passengers had a rowing simulator, a power counterweight, an electric camel, an electric horse, kettlebells, punching bags and exercise bikes at their disposal. On the terrible night of April 14, 1912, when the ship collided with an iceberg, physical education instructor T.W. McCauley refused to leave the ship and died.
