The
Belfast firm of Harland & Wolff built many famous ships,
including the Titanic and her sister ship the Britannic. This
is a photograph of a ship's boiler in the Belfast yard. My great-grandfather
- John Waite - probably worked as a boilermaker for a short
period in Belfast before moving back to Gorton in Manchester.
He worked for the engineering firm of Beyer-Peacock in Gorton
until his retirement. |
