Product Information
INTRODUCTION: Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland sits astride the river Lagan as it makes its way towards Belfast Lough and the Irish Sea. The city is a bit of a strange place. You both love and hate it, a place where the locals just about tolerate each other, but yet strangely reach out a hand of friendship to a visitor. At times Belfast can also seem a very drab and dirty place, but it has so much to offer, not only to the locals but to those visitors who care to come to our City. Belfast is buzzing! Just look around at the investment and building work that has been going on in just the past few years, at the Cathedral Quarter and the new Titanic Quarter. Sadly, however, over recent years the industrial heart of the city has diminished from its former glory. Today in Belfast heavy industry is the exception rather than the rule. Yet this city and its hard working citizens have, over the years, placed Belfast at the top of the industrial league.At one time it boasted having the largest rope works in the world, there was a massive glass works and, maybe not that politically correct in today's health conscious society, the Gallaher Tobacco Company was at the forefront for smokers, with its Blues, Greens and Condor brands.Firms like Mackies, Davison's Sirocco works, airplane manufacturers Short Brothers and Harland, and even the short lived Delorean car plant were all testaments to Belfast build and quality. What Belfast did have and what was to make it world famous was shipbuilding. It could proudly boast to have the largest shipyard in the world, that of the massive East Belfast shipyard of Harland and Wolff. It was in this yard that the work force continually constructed and launched bigger and bigger ships, practically each one of them becoming the largest ship in the world at its respective launch. It was here in 1912 that probably the most famous or infamous ship, the Titanic, departed from the Lough and into the realms of the history books. Belfast shipyards also have the unique distinction of giving the world not one ship named Titanic but two.In 1888 the shipbuilding firm of McIlwaine and McColl, launched a 1,608 ton, schooner with a triple expansion steam engine and named the vessel Titanic.The earliest records of this fledgling industry date back to around the year 1630, when King Charles I was on the throne, Urban VIII was Pope and, in Belfast, local Presbyterian ministers commissioned the building of a ship, The Eagle Wing, that was unsuccessfully to transport them away from these shores. Shipbuilding was formally established on the shores of the river Lagan in 1791 when a Scot by the name of William Ritchie, having been invited by local businessmen to advise them about the possibility of setting up a shipbuilding yard, saw the potential himself and set up his own firm, becoming the founding father of that trade in Belfast. From that date shipbuilding was to grow to such levels that Belfast became the envy of the world. Individuals were to make their mark in the passage of time but mostly the growth was to be attributed to families and their connections.Douglas Carson, the well known and respected Belfast historian and public speaker, begins his talk entitled The Family Tree of Titanic by informing his audience, that the beginnings of what was to become the giant shipyard of Harland and Wolff in East Belfast was a family firm and it grew out of a family with a larger family growing around it.This is quite correct. One of the first families was that of the previously mentioned William Ritchie. They were to be the instigators and pioneers of shipbuilding from those early days. Following mergers with Ritchie's own family and others there is a direct connection to another major Belfast shipyard, that of Workman Clark, this yard being bought over eventually by Harland and Wolff and absorbed into his own shipyard. The Pirrie family, starting with Captain William Pirrie around 1820 and finishing with his
