Boat House, Belfast, Co. Antrim

    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.

  • 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.

Rescued lifeboats from the Titanic

    What a stark reminder of the miracle of those who survived, and the tragedy of those who did not...
  • GrenadierGuardsDmr said:
    The 2012 BBC TV documentary "Inside The Titanic" said that, contrary to Officer statements after the event, the Titanic started her engines again some 7 minutes after the iceberg collision and travelled at half-ahead for some 16 minutes before realising the true extent of the flooding.
  • Ken Redmond said:
    GrenadierGuardsDmr I read that this could have been the actual cause of her sinking sooner. There is speculation that her bottom was breached as well as the side and the forward motion had the tendency to 'scoop' additional water into the ship's hull. Second Officer Charles Lightoller later brought a ship to port in WWI in reverse. It too had damage below the waterline. Could Titanic have reached Cape Race in reverse and did Lightoller learn this lesson from the experience of Titanic?
  • Colonel Blink said:
    Could there be something funny about this photo? I always understood that the lifeboats on the Titanic did not say "R. M. S. Titanic" but "White Star Line". Is it possible that the original photographer scratched the name onto the original plate? I note it only says R. M. S. Titanic on one of the boats and even then the writing is not very straight..
  • Ken Redmond said:
    I could easily be wrong but I'm sure I've seen photos of lifeboats with plates that simply said 'SS Titanic'. An anniversary special about Belfast, aired here on PBS, had an American host who kept referring to Titanic as 'HMS Titanic'.
