The yard
The story so far
Harland & Wolff built the Olympic-class liners — Olympic, Titanic and Britannic — under the twin gantries of Queen's Island, Belfast, when they were the largest moving objects ever made. At its Edwardian peak the yard employed over 30,000 people and launched more tonnage than any other in the world.
The great slipways are now the Titanic Quarter museum district, watched over by the yellow Samson and Goliath cranes; the modern company survives at a fraction of its old scale, doing fabrication and defence work — but the name remains welded to the most famous ship ever built.
