This fantastic DVD ‘THE YARD’ features Belfast Ship Yard in the 1950’s and 1960’s. In its hay-day over 35,000 men were employed by Harland and Wolff. The ship yard which built RMS Titanic and RMS Olympic to name only two of the greatest oceans liners had a long and loving relationship with The White Star Line.
