EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into Belfast's rich maritime history, featuring the New Dry Dock and the iconic RMS Olympic. Located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, the New Dry Dock was a testament to Belfast's industrial prowess during the early 1900s. The dock, with its massive size and advanced engineering, was instrumental in the construction and repair of numerous ocean liners, including the famous RMS Olympic. The RMS Olympic, the sister ship of the ill-fated Titanic, is seen gracefully to the right of the image. Launched in 1911, the Olympic was the largest ship in the world at the time, a title it held until her sister ship, the Titanic, took to the seas. This image captures the Olympic in its prime, before the tragic events that unfolded on its maiden voyage in 1912. The New Dry Dock and the Olympic are surrounded by the bustling harbor, with various other ships and vessels anchored or undergoing repairs. The photograph also reveals the impressive architectural details of the dockyard, including the intricate brickwork and the towering cranes. The image is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of Belfast's shipbuilding industry during this era. This photograph, taken circa early 1900s, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective of Belfast's maritime heritage and the role the city played in shaping the world's shipping industry.
