United States War Department Special Services Photo: Image number 3 from Northern Ireland included in the 'Pocket Guide to Northern Ireland'. The caption reads: The shipbuilding yards of Belfast are among the very largest in the world. Before the war, when this picture was taken, giant liners, including the ill-fated Titanic, were launched here. Now the yards are busy day and night building ships of war.
