Harland and Wolff, once acknowledged as the greatest and best-known
shipbuilding company in the world, for many years enjoyed a mighty
eminence before a gradual descent into near obscurity. This
illustrated book, told from the unique perspective of someone who
was there at the time, chronicles the history of the organisation
from its creation to the present day, from its halcyon days to its
present incarnation. Today, the company is no longer involved in
shipbuilding, maintaining only a small ship repair and engineering
facility and occupying a fraction of its previously vast complex.
At its peak Harland and Wolff directly employed over 45,000 people,
with even more in its subsidiary companies. Well-known Harland and
Wolff former employee Tom McCluskie, who was a technical consultant
to James Cameron on the movie Titanic, sheds light on many
little-known facts about the business, delves into the human
interest stories, and recounts both the mighty zenith and
ignominious demise of this great enterprise.
