It was commissioned in 1999 to celebrate the regeneration of the Laganside area. Created by artist John Kindness, the sculpture is 10 metres long and clad in ceramic tiles. Each tile tells a story about the city using pictures, text and newspaper cuttings. According to John Kindness: “The Big Fish contains a time capsule storing information, images and poetry of the city”.

  • Shipbuilders to the World: 125 Years of Harland and Wolff, Belfast 1861-1986’ by Michael Moss and John R
    SHIPBUILDERS TO THE WORLD Introduction The following is extracted and slightly edited from the book ‘Shipbuilders to the World: 125 years of Harland and Wolff, Belfast 1861-1986’ by Michael Moss and John R. Hume published in 1986. The book was intended as a celebratory appraisal of the firm and as such focused mostly on the development of the shipyard. Although it was Edward Harland that began the firm, my interests are more familial than commercial and so the extracts below highlight the roles played by my great, great uncle Wolff and his uncle Gustav Schwabe. Moss and Hume write: During his apprenticeship Edward Harland had become friendly through his uncle, Dr. Thomas Harland, with Gustav Christian Schwabe. Thomas Harland had graduated in medicine from the University in Edinburgh in 1822 and had subsequently practiced in Salford. In 1842 he had married Mary Dugdale, niece of John Dugdale of Dovecot, a powerful Liverpool and Manchester merchant. Some years later Gustav Schwabe had married John Dugdale’s daughter, Helen (right). Gustav had been born in Hamburg in 1813, the son of Philipp Benjamin Schwabe, a wealthy Jewish merchant. During June 1819, along with the rest of his family, Gustav was baptised into the Lutheran church (source Staats Archiv Hamburg). In the 1820s many members of the Jewish community in Hamburg established businesses in Britain where trading conditions were more liberal than in Germany. The Schwabe family participated in this trend. Salis Schwabe, Gustav's uncle, set up a calico printing business in Manchester and cousins M. M. and H. L Schwabe opened a merchant house with a branch in Glasgow.

  • The Commercial & Technical Evolution of the Ferry
    THE COMMERCIAL & TECHNICAL EVOLUTION OF THE FERRY INDUSTRY 1948-1987 By William (Bill) Moses M.B.E. A thesis presented to the University of Greenwich in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2010 DECLARATION “I certify that this work has not been accepted in substance for any degree, and is not concurrently being submitted for any degree other than that of Doctor of Philosophy being studied at the University of Greenwich. I also declare that this work is the result of my own investigations except where otherwise identified by references and that I have not plagiarised another’s work”. ……………………………………………. William Trevor Moses Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Sarah Palmer Date: ………………………………. ……………………………………………… Professor Alastair Couper Date:……………………………. ii Acknowledgements There are a number of individuals that I am indebted to for their support and encouragement, but before mentioning some by name I would like to acknowledge and indeed dedicate this thesis to my late Mother and Father. Coming from a seafaring tradition it was perhaps no wonder that I would follow but not without hardship on the part of my parents as they struggled to raise the necessary funds for my books and officer cadet uniform. Their confidence and encouragement has since allowed me to achieve a great deal and I am only saddened by the fact that they are not here to share this latest and arguably most prestigious attainment. It is also appropriate to mention the ferry industry, made up on an intrepid band of individuals that I have been proud and privileged to work alongside for as many decades as covered by this thesis.

These latest plaques are spread across Ulster, from Newry in the south east, to the north west in Co Donegal. Apart from our busy plaque activities, the Circle has been hard at work enhancing the New Dictionary of Ulster Biography. All our work is unpaid, and Circle members meet regularly in committee every month, as fundraising and planning the plaques are always on-going activities, with the summer months often busy with events. I would like to thank my colleagues on the Circle committee for their support and their valued contributions throughout the year. A voluntary body like ours depends entirely on the continuing commitment of its committee members. On behalf of the Circle I would also like to record how much we appreciate the generosity of our funders: many of the City and District Councils, and those individuals, organisations, and businesses without whose help and support the Circle could not continue in its work commemorating and celebrating the many distinguished people from, or significantly connected with, Ulster, who are exemplified by those remembered this year.

  • Transport and Technology
    Transport and Technology Collections 1 Introduction The Transport and Technology Collections reflect the leading role played by Glasgow and the West of Scotland in advances made in scientific enquiry and industrial production. The technology collections were first developed for the opening of the City Industrial Museum in 1870. This was intended to highlight the output of Glasgow’s industries and included samples and models from the important chemical, textile, locomotive and shipbuilding firms in the area. There were also examples of innovations in the making of optical and scientific instruments and communications technology. The museum displayed Glasgow’s civic pride in its scientific and industrial achievements and provided a prestigious front window for its products. It also played an important didactic role in teaching Glasgow’s young citizens about engineering and technology. Many of the collections were loaned and often replaced by newer more impressive exhibits. Even items formally acquired into this collection were regarded with the same spirit of renewal and were often discarded in favour of more representative examples of modern industry. Although much has been lost there is still much of great interest that has survived from the early days of the museum. This is partly as a result of industrial failure when loaned material from failed companies was retained and eventually assimilated into the core collections. Such a direct relationship between the city’s industries and the museum collections gives them an added degree of significance. This is particularly true of the outstanding ship and marine engineering models. The Clyde was at the forefront of revolutionary change in the shipbuilding industry so not only is the collection a truly representative sample of the Clyde’s output, it also represents an important period of ship design and building that is unsurpassed anywhere in the world.

    United States Department of the Interior OMB No. 1024-0018, NPS Form National Park Service Property Name McCready, Robert W. & Mary F., House Location Sloatsburg, Rockland County, New York NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES CONTINUATION SHEET Section Number 8 Page 1 8. Narrative Statement of Significance Overview The Robert W. and Mary F. McCready house enjoys tangible historic associations with the life of Robert Workman McCready (1862-1949), an Irish-born builder who rose to prominence in the greater Sloatsburg area, particularly in association with the construction of major architectural commissions executed by his company in Tuxedo Park. Trained initially in his trade in Belfast, under the employ of the shipbuilding firm of Harland & Wolff, McCready came to America and in the ensuing years worked for the well-known construction firm of Mead & Taft. In 1889 he formed a professional partnership with his brother-in-law William Finch, general contractors under the name of McCready & Finch, before assuming sole ownership of the company in 1904. During its time the company was responsible for executing important domestic commissions in Tuxedo Park, New York, where major works of residential architecture were being built to the plans of some of the nation’s leading architectural offices, and at the height of its prominence employed upwards of 600 employees. McCready retired from business in the 1920s, and lived in the nominated house, built c. 1889 as a wedding gift to his spouse Mary Finch McCready, until their deaths in 1949. It is an example of eclectic Late Victorian domestic design, with interior and exterior work reflecting Eastlake, Queen Anne and Colonial Revival-style influence, though not all representative of a single building campaign.
