EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing Queens Island Shipyard in Belfast during the early 1900s. The image, taken circa 1910, presents an awe-inspiring view of two of White Star Line's most iconic vessels, the RMS Titanic and RMS Olympic, resting side by side in the shipyard's stocks. Located in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, Queens Island Shipyard was a hub of maritime innovation and engineering excellence during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Harbouring the largest dry docks in the world at the time, the yard was the perfect setting for the construction of these colossal ocean liners. The Titanic, the world's largest and most luxurious passenger ship, was undergoing final fitting-out work before her maiden voyage. Her sister ship, the Olympic, was also in the yard for modifications. Both ships were designed by the renowned architectural firm Harland and Wolff, and their construction represented the pinnacle of maritime engineering and design. The image captures the impressive scale of these vessels, with the Titanic's distinctive funnels and Olympic's elegant lines clearly visible. The intricate details of the shipyard's cranes, workers, and machinery add depth and context to the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich maritime history of Belfast and Northern Ireland, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past as these two legendary ships were brought to life. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online.
