Molly Ward's Boat Club, Belfast, Northern Ireland (1904): A Timeless Moment on the Lagan This evocative photograph captures the essence of Molly Ward's Boat Club in Belfast, Northern Ireland, as it was over a century ago. Dated 1904, the image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the vibrant boating community that thrived on the banks of the River Lagan. The Molly Ward's Boat Club, located in the heart of Belfast, was a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. The club, named after Molly Ward, a prominent figure in Belfast's boating scene, was known for its lively atmosphere and camaraderie. The photograph reveals a bustling scene, with several boats moored along the riverbank, their sails furled and oars neatly stowed. The boats, a mix of traditional Irish designs and more modern vessels, are a testament to the rich maritime history of Belfast and Northern Ireland. The men in the photograph, dressed in their boating attire, are engaged in various activities, from mending nets to socializing with friends. The women, clad in long skirts and bonnets, observe the scene from the shore, adding a touch of elegance and grace to the image. The River Lagan, with its gentle current and picturesque surroundings, provided the perfect setting for Molly Ward's Boat Club. The photograph, taken on a crisp winter's day, captures the beauty and tranquility of the scene, with the sun casting a warm glow over the water and the trees along the riverbank. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape Belfast and Northern Ireland. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when community, friendship, and the simple pleasures of the outdoors were at the heart of everyday life.
