EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of Industrial Ireland during the tumultuous year of 1916, as Belfast played a pivotal role in supporting the war effort during World War I. The image shows a night shift in full swing at a Belfast shipyard, with workers toiling diligently to build much-needed vessels for the British Navy. The importance of Belfast's industrial prowess during this period cannot be overstated, as the city was a leading producer of ships and munitions for the Allied forces. Beyond the shipyards, the people of Belfast also contributed in unique and unexpected ways. For instance, the gathering of sphagnum moss from the bogs of Northern Ireland became an essential wartime industry, as the moss was used to make wound dressings for soldiers at the front. The moss was collected, dried, and shipped to hospitals and military bases, making a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of injured soldiers. Moreover, the men of Belfast answered the call to arms, with thousands enlisting to fight on the Western Front. The sacrifice and determination of these men, along with the tireless efforts of the industrial workforce, made Belfast a symbol of resilience and patriotism during the darkest days of the war. The scene in this photograph encapsulates the unwavering spirit of the people of Belfast as they did their part to support the war effort and make a difference in the face of adversity.
