Boat House, Belfast, Co. Antrim

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

• Sharon Corbet said:

  It was only built in 1897 so the photo's after that. Unfortunately, it no longer exists as it was blown up in the 1970's.

• Sharon Corbet said:

  There's a 1936 photo with some of the history: This club house was opened in 1898 by Mrs W J Pirrie, wife of the managing director of Harland and Wolff; among the well-wishers was Mr Gustav Wolff, also representing Belfast craft of a larger size. The club was 23 years old, and had 300 members to share 'the delightful pastime of rowing'. The lower dock could accommodate the club's 'fleet' of 24 pleasure boats, but racing boats had to tie up at St John's Wharf. A speaker appealed to Belfast Council to complete the scene by building a dock in the Ormeau Park where it bordered the river. The band of the North Staffords provided the music, and the view shows that music was part of the arrangements in 1936.

  A picture of the boathouse after the bombing.

• Niall McAuley said:

  The boat club is still here, without this Boat House, on Lockview road. You can see oarsmen at work in this Bing aerial view.

• Niall McAuley said:

  The DIA says it was destroyed by fire and replaced in 1912.
