Olympic & Titanic Slipways

It was the most spectacular sight ever seen in the world of shipbuilding - workers clambering high over the Arrol gantry, more than twice the height of St Paul’s Cathedral, to work on the two greatest ships yet known to man, Olympic and Titanic. Beneath the ships, which for a period stood side by side, were the slipways specially constructed to launch the ships into the adjacent waterways in the Victoria Channel. They were still in use until the 1960s and have now been preserved.
