  • Commemoration Or Profit? the Truth Behind Belfast's Titanic
    Kelsey Johnson Broad Field Social Science Major & History Minor Faculty Sponsor: Dr. Valerie Barske Commemoration or Profit? The Truth Behind Analysis Belfast’s Titanic Commemoration and The commemorations for the Titanic in Belfast have transformed into a Memorialization tourist attraction instead a way of remembering the men and women who lost their lives. Belfast has memorialized the Titanic in museums (Fig. 1). Abstract Although these museums “teach” about the Titanic, they also use these In this research project, I examine commemorations, media coverage, event and museums for profit. In Belfast, some museums profit through and commercial films related to the 1912 sinking of the Titanic in Belfast romanticized interpretations of what happened aboard Titanic, most widely Ireland. More specifically, I argue that museums in Belfast Ireland employ known through the film produced by James Cameron. This film has made dark tourism and romanticized media coverage to bring in tourism and people believe events that did not really happen on Titanic, including economic growth to Ireland. I examine the ways that multimedia, marketable objects such as “the heart of the ocean” jewel, which is now celebrations, and museums are used to obscure the commemoration sold throughout many museums around the world. Scholars have thus events in order to profit from the historic tragedy. My research highlights critiqued the ways in which museums profit from this tragedy. the commemoration of the centennial sinking and how these sites serve as a form of commercial profit for places such as Belfast Ireland. Museums also profit from marketing the real-life stories of survivors and victims of the Titanic event.

  • 1951 Census Down County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch, 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7* 6d NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Government of Northern Irel&nd was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of more limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid-night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious pro­ fession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.

  • Will Titanic's Sunken Wreck Be Protected? Treasure Hunters Skeptical of New US, UK Agreement
    Will Titanic's sunken wreck be protected? Treasure hunters skeptical of new US, UK agreement By Christopher Carbone Published January 22, 2020 Fox News The sunken wreck of the Titanic will be protected under a new treaty agreed to by the United States and the United Kingdom. More than 100 years after the ill-fated ship sank to the bottom of the sea when it hit an iceberg, the formal agreement includes managing and safeguarding one of the world's most culturally significant sites. "This momentous agreement with the United States to preserve the wreck means it will be treated with the sensitivity and respect owed to the final resting place of more than 1,500 lives," said British Maritime Minister Nusrat Ghani in a statement announcing the news on Tuesday. "The UK will now work closely with other North Atlantic States to bring even more protection to the wreck of the Titanic." New images show the deterioration of the Titanic wreck. (Atlantic Productions) The Titanic hit an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. ship's time on April 14, 1912, and sank on its maiden voyage just over two hours later with the loss of all but 706 of the 2,223 people onboard, according to a Senate report released at the time. The Titanic incident led to the drawing up of the SOLAS (Safety of Lives at Sea) Convention in 1914, which sets the minimum safety standards by which ships are required to comply worldwide. "I am delighted that we are taking new steps to protect the Titanic, which played such a famous part in Belfast’s proud maritime history," Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Rt Hon Julian Smith MP, said in a statement.
