Alexandra Dock

At the furthest point of the Maritime Mile, is the Alexandra Dock. As Harland & Wolff began to design larger ships, they needed larger docks to house them. The Alexandra Dock was built between 1885-89, just over 800 feet long and 80 feet wide, and was the largest dry dock in the world at the time. It was also designed to be separated into 3 sections, using caissons to have a combination of dry and flooded dock space. The caissons for the dock were built by another local shipbuilder, Workman Clark, and given the yard numbers 53 and 54. The Dock was named for the Princess of Wales, Princess Alexandra, who cut the first sod. The Alexandra Dock is now permanently flooded and home to HMS Caroline.

Clarendon Dock

The oldest remaining docks in Belfast Harbour are the Clarendon dry docks, built in the 1800s, by Belfast’s first commercial shipbuilder, William Ritchie. He originally set his shipyard up at the Old Lime Kiln Dock (where Corporation St is now) but Ritchie needed a dry dock so Belfast Harbour agreed to build a dock which Ritchie built himself, completing it in 1800. Known as Ritchie’s Dock for years, it was later renamed Clarendon Dock No 1. The second Clarendon Dock was completed in 1826. The Victorian dry docks are no longer used but remain an important link to Belfast’s maritime past.

Drawing Offices

The former Harland & Wolff Headquarter Building and Drawing Offices dates from 1886 and was the centre of H&W activities for more than a century. It was in this building where men created, and designed thousands of ships including the White Star Olympic Class Liners – Olympic, Titanic and Britannic and naval warships such as HMS Belfast. The building was vacated by H&W in 1989, and restoration work began in 2016 to turn the derelict building into Titanic Hotel Belfast, which opened in September 2017. Many of the heritage features have been retained and restored, and the two Drawing Offices are stunning reminders of the grandeur of Harland & Wolff’s passenger liners.

The Titanic and Olympic slipways were developed especially for the Olympic class liners, Titanic, Olympic and Britanic. Made of reinforced concrete at an angle down towards the sea, the slipways are over 4ft thick in places with a framework of steel. A huge steel Arrol gantry once stood over the slipways to assist with the construction of the ever-bigger H&W ships. The slipways are now scheduled monuments and were restored as part of the development of Titanic Belfast. The Titanic slipway contains the outline of the deck of the Titanic, including the locations of the benches on board, and the Olympic slipway is a Titanic memorial garden, with decked and grassed areas representing the numbers of survivors and victims of the Titanic tragedy.

W5 Belfast

Queen's Quay Belfast BT3 9QQ

The world is changing and so are we. After 20 years as one of Northern Ireland’s favourite family destinations, W5 has been completely reimagined with a major £5million investment.

From top to bottom, W5 has been completely transformed. Two reimagined exhibition floors will excite and inspire, with exhibits and experiences covering everything from climate change and nature to film and TV production, optical illusions, built engineering, medical science and much, much more.

Daily science shows at a purpose-built Science Bar will be a place for interactive learning and engagement. Meanwhile, a new under 8s area developed by W5’s in-house creative team, will ignite the imaginations as visitors step into a living storybook world, where family favourites are brought to life through immersive roleplay.

A refreshed ground floor includes The Lost Planet – a space and dinosaur themed maze of climbing frames and slides that takes soft play to a new dimension – and an eye-catching new ‘Skull Cave’ exhibit features giant replica dinosaur and human skulls.

Where Belfast Begins Outdoor Exhibition

Maritime Belfast Trust, the charity responsible for promoting and preserving Belfast’s maritime heritage, has launched Where Belfast Begins, Maritime Belfast Story outdoor exhibition. The exhibition celebrates the thousands of ships built here in Belfast, the many tradesmen and women, the Yardmen, the Dockers, and the innovation associated with 400 years of industry.

Informed by in-depth research and engagement with neighbourhood communities, the exhibition covers many stories - about how the river was tamed, and the land reclaimed; how trade and innovation made Belfast an industrial powerhouse to the world; stories from the city’s neighbourhoods, of their livelihoods and trades, of the shops that sold everything from a needle to an anchor.

The Maritime Belfast Story Exhibition is a free outdoor experience on Queens Quay.
