File talk:Knocking off at Harland & Wolff, Belfast.jpg

The camera's POV in this photo is looking up Queen's Road toward the TITANIC under the Arrol Gantry. The bow of another ship is visible in a graving dock at the left edge of the photo; it appears to be the NOMADIC (the first 5 letters of her name are visible in the enlarged image). If so, this narrows the photo date to the 35-day period between 25 April 1911 (when the NOMADIC was launched) and 30 May 1911 (the day before TITANIC was launched). Compare the 1911 image of a bustling, busy and dynamic shipyard with a satellite photo of the Queens Road waterfront today: virtually nothing is left but flat land and bulldozed rubble, with the remains of a parking lot where the gantry once stood (at water's edge, you can see three of the piers whereupon stood some towers of the gantry, 120 feet apart). However, the small graving dock where the NOMADIC was docked is still there. (Posted by T.Jordan, 11 Sept 2010).
