Shipbuilding at Belfast: A Glimpse into the Past with the 200 Ton Floating Crane This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of Belfast, Northern Ireland, during the early 1900s. The image showcases the impressive 200-ton floating crane, a testament to the city's thriving shipbuilding industry at the time. Located in County Antrim, Belfast was renowned for its advanced shipbuilding techniques and innovative engineering. The use of large floating cranes, such as the one depicted in this photograph, revolutionized the shipbuilding process, enabling the construction of larger and more complex vessels. The crane's massive size and intricate design are evident in this stunning view. Its robust structure, complete with thick cables and pulleys, underscores the immense power and precision required for lifting heavy ship components. The crane's pontoons are anchored to the water, providing a stable platform for the crane's operations. The photograph captures the crane in action, with a ship's hull partially built in the background. The workers, dressed in protective gear, can be seen working on the ship's structure, adding details and fine-tuning the vessel's design. The surrounding area is bustling with activity, with other ships and cranes visible in the distance, underscoring the scale and importance of Belfast's shipbuilding industry during this era. This photograph is an invaluable record of Belfast's shipbuilding past and provides a fascinating glimpse into the technological advancements and industrial prowess that made the city a global leader in shipbuilding during the early 1900s.
