Today marks the hundredth anniversary of the launch of the Titanic at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, leading to the towns motto ...
"Well it was fine when it left us!"
A single flare was fired above the city's docklands to signify the exact moment (12.13pm) the ill-fated liner rolled down the slipway and touched the water for the first time.
Certainly an event of note for the Shipyards blog
