EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of anticipation as the iconic RMS Olympic, the world's largest ocean liner at the time, makes its way into Belfast Harbour on April 1, 1911. The sleek vessel, a testament to the maritime prowess of Harland and Wolff shipbuilders, is seen cutting through the water as onlookers gather to witness the spectacle. Among the crowd, a photographer, believed to be Robert J. Welch, the official photographer for Harland and Wolff, is poised to capture the historic moment for posterity. The people on the left of the image, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity, add a human element to this grand scene. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s in Belfast, Northern Ireland, County Antrim, is a testament to the city's rich maritime heritage and the awe-inspiring engineering feats of the time.
