Belfast Day 4 Video

Video from Friday, last day in Belfast. Basically kicked around the city for a few hours. Wish I could have seen more. We visited my grandparents old house, I remembered the grass area out front from when I was 4. Saw an art exhibit on Belfast Shipbuilders, quite moving considering my great grandfather worked on Titanic, and my grandfather was a marker plater for many other great ships.

Any one of the men in these paintings could have been my grandfather.

An era gone by, most of today's shipbuilding is done elsewhere, Harland and Wolf work mostly on oil rigs these days.
