Belfast Titanic Society in Belfast Shopping Directory

    

Harland & Wolff Shipyard in Belfast, which built nearly every ship that the White Star Line owned, was the biggest shipyard in the world at the turn of the 20th century. It employed many thousands of workers and enjoyed the reputation of building some of the finest ships afloat. Because the Yard has continued with ship repair to this day, the population sees it as a link to the past, and to the most famous ship the world has ever known. By the time of the publication of the societys first magazine CQD, interest in this, the only society to boast a geographical link with Titanic, meeting as it does within sight of the massive yellow cranes of Harland & Wolff, had reached international proportions. Letters were published from as far afield as New Zealand The Auckland Titanic Society, America Titanic Inc, T.H.S, Norway Den Nordiske Titanic Foreningen, and the Irish Titanic Society.
