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.
