The Titanic was built in the Belfast shipyard, Harland & Wolff, the ship was launched from Belfast on 31 May 1911 and successfully completed sea trials in Belfast Lough during 1912. Hundreds of men in Belfast had worked on the construction of the luxury liner and there were Irish passengers and crew on board the ship. The city's attachment to the ship has never diminished.
