#OtD 1912, afternoon.

Local florist Frank Bealing, accompanied by his son Frank Jr. and their foreman W.F. 'Bill' Geapin, delivered an abundance of flowers to the #Titanic. The Bealings had the contract to supply all floral arrangements for White Star liners calling in Southampton. They brought hundreds of potted plants, large and small. Some were put in cold storage, to be brought out later during the crossing. Habitually more flowers were brought aboard ships which interiors had recieved fresh paint.
