EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into Belfast's Maritime History: A Rare Titanic Hero Memorial Notice from 1912" 2. Caption: This evocative print showcases an original notice from the Harland and Wolff shipyards in Belfast, dated May 18, 1912. The notice, issued by the Lady Mayoress, invites leading hands and foremen to a meeting at the Works Dining Hall to discuss the possibility of their representation on the Ladies Committee at the City Hall. The Lady Mayoress herself was expected to be present at the gathering. 3. The notice, which is both handwritten and typewritten, conveys a sense of the era's formal and formal language, with its use of phrases such as "employees," "Ladies Committee," and "City Hall." The mention of the Lady Mayoress's desire to involve the leading hands and foremen in the committee suggests a strong sense of community and inclusivity within the shipbuilding industry in Belfast during this period. 4. The Titanic, the most famous ship ever built at Harland and Wolff, was launched just a few months earlier, on May 31, 1911. The tragic sinking of the Titanic on April 15, 1912, would cast a long shadow over the city and its shipbuilding industry. This notice, however, offers a rare glimpse into the everyday workings of the shipyard and the lives of its employees before the world-altering event. 5. The notice's white background, adorned with a star and the Harland and Wolff line, adds to its historical significance and underlines the luxury and grandeur associated with the maritime transport industry during the early 1900s. This print is a valuable reminder of Belfast's rich maritime heritage and the human stories that shaped it.
