Death upon setting sail and electric camel

This would be an addition to the sentence "Just before the launch a worker was killed when a piece of wood fell on him." in the section about building the ship. Although it is a small fact I think it is an interesting addition. 

When the Titanic was being launched from where it was docked in Belfast, Ireland on May 31, a dock worker, by the name of James Dobbin, was stuck on the head with a piece of falling timber. He was in the hospital for a day before he succumbed to his injuries.

Another fact to add is about the electric camel. This can also be seen in the background of a scene in James Cameron's film "Titanic"

As well as other gym equipment, the first-class gymnasium included an electric camel for passengers
