A Monument to Belfast’s Shipbuilding Past
On the gable end of a building at the corner of Dee Street and Newtownards Road, a large, detailed mural commemorates the RMS Titanic and the city that built her. Unveiled in 2010, the artwork celebrates Belfast’s industrial heritage and the thousands of workers at Harland & Wolff who constructed the ‘Ship of Dreams’. The mural prominently features the Titanic herself, rendered in a classic maritime style, with the White Star Line insignia and key dates from her construction and tragic maiden voyage. It stands as a permanent, community-driven tribute to the city’s role in one of the most famous stories in maritime history.Art and Memory on the Wall
The mural is the work of local artist John Stewart, who later returned in 2015 to restore and refresh the piece. Among the imagery is a portrait of Thomas Andrews, the head of Harland & Wolff’s drafting department and the Titanic’s chief designer, who perished in the disaster. The mural’s dedication explicitly honors the men, women, and children who died in the North Atlantic on 14 April 1912, those who survived with lives forever changed, and the shipbuilders who created the vessel. This blend of historical detail and personal remembrance gives the mural a solemn, reflective quality, distinct from Belfast’s more politically charged murals.Location and Local Context
Situated on the lower Newtownards Road in East Belfast, the mural is part of the city’s rich tradition of public wall art, but with a focus on industrial and maritime heritage rather than political themes. Its placement in a residential and commercial area makes it easily accessible to both locals and visitors exploring the city’s cultural landmarks. The surrounding streets reflect Belfast’s layered history, and the mural serves as a focal point for conversations about the city’s global impact through shipbuilding and engineering, as well as the human cost of that legacy.Visitor Experience and Atmosphere
Visitors typically spend a short time here, taking in the scale and detail of the artwork, reading the inscriptions, and photographing the mural against the urban backdrop. The atmosphere is respectful and contemplative, especially for those familiar with the Titanic story. There are no formal facilities at the site itself, so it functions best as a stop on a wider walking tour of East Belfast’s murals and historical sites. The mural is best viewed in daylight, when the colors and text are clearly visible, and it can be combined with visits to nearby landmarks such as the Crumlin Road Gaol or the Peace Wall for a fuller picture of Belfast’s past and present.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
