Belfast has a long and proud shipbuilding heritage, this industry
holding a strong place in Belfast's identity and popular culture.
There were three main shipbuilders, Harland & Wolff, Workman
Clark and the little-known McIllwain & Co., all of whom had
fascinating and often turbulent histories. Despite this, little is
known about the vessels they produced, beyond the world-famous
story of Titanic. In this impeccably researched book, Dr John Lynch
endeavours to change this, revealing the fascinating stories of the
many ships to be built and launched from Belfast over 140 years,
from the late 1850s to the twenty-first century. Including an
alphabetical ship index, building lists, details on vessel name
changes and many illustrations of the ships, this book also details
the yards themselves and key characters in shaping their journeys
from hey-day to decline.
