EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a breathtaking view of Belfast's Queens Island, home to The Great Gantry, in the early 1900s. The image showcases the industrial prowess of the time, with the iconic Titanic hull undergoing construction in the background. The Great Gantry, an engineering marvel of its era, looms large over the scene, its massive structure a testament to the engineering skills and ambition of the Harland and Wolff shipyard. In the foreground, a sailing ship gracefully cuts through the water, providing a stark contrast to the modern industrial landscape. The tranquil waters of Belfast Lough reflect the rich history and diversity of this bustling port city. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the vibrant maritime heritage of Northern Ireland's County Antrim and the pivotal role Belfast played in shaping the world's shipping industry. The Great Gantry, a symbol of Belfast's industrial might, stands tall and proud, its massive crane arms reaching out to the horizon. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the city's rich maritime history and its continued commitment to innovation and progress. A must-have for history enthusiasts, maritime aficionados, and anyone with an appreciation for the beauty and power of industrial engineering.
