Debitoo Posted April 4, 2017 #3 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Does any trivia buff know the length of the anchor chains on HOTS? Thanks! Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk There was a similar question that the Captain posed to us at the Meet & Mingle. How many links are in the chains on the Harmony? Whoever could give him the correct answer would win a "very nice" bottle of wine. No one at the M&M had the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachammo Posted April 4, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 4, 2017 On the Aircraft Carrier USS George Washington it's 1082 ft long according to my cousin who worked on it. So I would say Harmony's chain is shorter than that. Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisenouvelle Posted April 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It's pretty long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootman4U Posted April 5, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Who knows but here are some other trivia question "answers." http://www.royalcaribbean.com/connect/harmony-of-the-seas-by-the-numbers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted April 6, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 6, 2017 The same as Oasis. I think it's a couple of inches longer. [emoji6] Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pspercy Posted April 6, 2017 #8 Share Posted April 6, 2017 About five to ten times the water depth so they'd need at least enough to cover max likely water depth. I don't know what the maximum depth for safe anchoring would be tho', assuming sea bed was suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$unny Posted April 8, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted April 8, 2017 We have confirmed that there are 14 shackles (a measure of anchor chain length) on both anchors. In case Captain asks again... :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case Captain asks again... :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk A "shot" or "shackle" of chain is 15 fathoms or 90 feet. For those into nautical trivia, a "fathom" was originally defined as "the length of a 'swain's arms about the object of his affection" (a sailor's arms around his girl), or 6 feet.

Bootman4U Posted April 9, 2017 #12 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Sending this from the HOTS as we cruise toward Labadee. Very windy off the Cuban coast which is starting to come into view. Last night there was a trivia contest in the Schooner; 15 questions and I'm sorry that none of them were about the anchor chain length. Maybe today. But if you knew the largest country on the planet or in which city the Summer Olympics enjoyed the highest elevation or which country's national anthem is the longest then you'd be well on your way to winning another Crown and Anchor logo key chain.

I'm thinking the highest elevation for a summer olympics would have been Mexico City 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have been here last night and then you could have answered the "What South American city was named after a city in Italy?" question, too.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
