The next day, while Ellen was working, I retraced our steps to the Lagan River. There are a bunch of attractions along the river, on what Belfast calls the "Maritime Mile." The famous ocean liner Titanic was built in Belfast by Harland and Wolff, who, at one time, were one of the biggest shipmakers in the world. At their peak, they employed about 20,000 people in Belfast (if I remember rightly). Their 2 big gantry cranes, Samson and Goliath, are Belfast landmarks.

One of the attractions along the Maritime Mile is the Titanic Museum. You can see it in the background in the photo above. It's the strangely shaped building between the yellow cranes on the left and the apartment building on the right.
