Belfast (shipyard)

Belfast Shipyard refers to the historic shipbuilding industry in Belfast, Northern Ireland, notably represented by Harland and Wolff. Established in the 19th century, it became one of the world's leading shipyards, known for constructing large ships like the RMS Titanic. The yard employed thousands of workers and played a vital role in maritime trade and engineering innovation. While its prominence declined in the late 20th century, Belfast Shipyard remains a symbol of industrial heritage and has transitioned toward redevelopment, including ship repair, manufacturing, and tourism initiatives, contributing significantly to the local economy and cultural identity.
