EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic sight of the passenger ship "Canada" being prepared for launch at Harland and Wolff's North Yard in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The image, taken from a port stern view on old No. 9 slip, now renumbered 4, shows the ship in its final stages before being set afloat. The date is 1896, and the vessel, with a tonnage of 8800, is a testament to the shipbuilding prowess of the time. The "Canada" was the property of the Dominion Line and was launched on May 14, 1896, with delivery scheduled for September 26 of the same year. The intricate details of the ship's design, from the ornate railings to the meticulously crafted smokestacks, are on full display in this photograph. The workers in the foreground add a sense of scale and activity to the scene, highlighting the monumental effort required to bring such a magnificent vessel to life. This photograph is an invaluable record of maritime history and a reminder of the rich industrial heritage of Belfast and Harland and Wolff.
