The
story of Titanic is inextricably linked with the growth Harland & Wolff Shipyard in Belfast, which built nearly every ship that the White Star Line owned, was the biggest shipyard in the world at the turn of the 20th century. It employed many thousands of workers and enjoyed the reputation of building some of the finest ships afloat. Because the "Yard" has continued with ship repair to this day, the population sees it as a link to the past, and to the most famous ship the world has ever known. By the time of the publication of the society's first magazine (CQD), interest in this, the only society to boast a geographical link with Titanic, meeting as it does within sight of the massive yellow cranes of Harland & Wolff, had reached international proportions. Letters were published from as far afield as New Zealand (The Auckland Titanic Society), America (Titanic Inc), T.H.S, Norway (Den Nordiske Titanic Foreningen), and the Irish Titanic Society. Membership of our group entitles you to receive 3 CQD magazines a year, membership badge, free admission to our monthly meetings and the pride of being a member of a unique society.Latest News Titanic Belfast tickets on sale!
