EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Wolf, a majestic paddle steamer owned by J and G Burns, in dry dock following its salvage at Harland and Wolff in 1868. The Wolf, an impressive steam-powered vessel, was built during a time when paddle boats reigned supreme on the waterways, predating the more modern and efficient screw propellers. The image showcases the intricate details of the ship's design, with its tall, slender smokestacks billowing out plumes of white steam against the backdrop of the industrial Belfast skyline. The paddle wheels, positioned at the stern, are a testament to the engineering prowess of the era, their large blades churning the water with every turn. The Wolf's hull is adorned with intricate ironwork, adding to its aesthetic appeal. The ship's salvage at Harland and Wolff, a renowned shipbuilding company, speaks to the importance of the yard in Belfast's maritime history. The Wolf's restoration likely involved extensive repairs and modifications, as evidenced by the cranes and other machinery visible in the background. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam-powered vessels ruled the waterways and the industrial revolution was in full swing. The Wolf, with its grandeur and historic significance, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the engineers and shipbuilders of the late 19th century.
