Only we can celebrate the triumph."

The story of Titanic is inextricably linked with the growth of Belfast as a city and an industrial capital. 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.
Eliza Gladys Millvina Dean, 1912 -2009 It was with great shock and sadness that we learnt of the death of Titanic’s last survivor on Sunday 31st May. Millvina was a very special person in the Titanic family. She gave so much to us all, this last living link to the amazing story of Titanic. The story will not end with her passing but it will never be the same again, that vibrant, charming personality will not brighten our lives again. I will defy anyone who has ever met Millvina to be untouched by that event, to not treasure that memory. Our thoughts now must be with Bruno, who has lost his constant companion and friend, and with Millvina’s family. May she rest in peace.
