Please be more specific. All the images were sourced from the official archives - the launch sequence has been confirmed as Titanic. It is easy to tell both ships apart because while under construction the hull of Olympic was painted white to avoid confusion. This can clearly be seen here when the two ships were side-by-side in the gantry: collections.nationalmuseumsni.org/object-hoyfm-wag-2079. As mentioned previously on this post, there are some crowd scenes towards the end of the video that may be from other launches in Belfast but the vast majority of this video uses imager of the construction and launch of The Titanic.

@@seedlingeducation It's Titanic, take no notice of anyone who says otherwise. They haven't a clue.

Yes, we think you are correct we have inadvertently used a 2 second shot of the Queen Mary travelling up Belfast lough much later in the Century. It does however provide a flavour of what it was like to watch these great ships leave our port.

Hi Shelty, thank you for your comment. We have used the key construction and launch images of the Titanic from the archive however the crowd scene (1:04-1:06) looks like it is from the launch of another ship constructed in Belfast around that time. This was a genuine mistake on our part we are sorry if it spoiled your enjoyment of the video.

Thanks - we are really proud of the excellent results our publishing customers have achieved using the platform. You can read some customer case studies on the website www.seedlinglearning.com.

Hi Kevin, thanks for the kind comment. This story uses more of these images to conjure up what it was like for a 12 year old apprentice to work on the great ship's construction myyarns.org/blog/games/an-apprentices-tale-2/. The story is told using the Ulster-Scots vernacular common here in Northern Ireland at the time and to this day.

@@seedlingeducation This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing the link. So interesting to see the overlap between the Ulster-Scots vernacular and the English we speak today.

@@KevinGrayWrites There's quite a few folk over here who still speak like that.

Thank you Judith. Yes, My Yarns (www.myyarns.org) provides Key Stage 2 teachers a resource that enables them to discuss the Victorians, Titanic and World War I in the context of storytelling, writing and the Ulster-Scots language.

It really is! We pulled together various shots from the NMNI archive collection, including the aewsome sequence of the titanic hull launch.

Thanks Tony. Many of these images have been seen before but never at this quality. Check out this story from My Yarns (myyarns.org/blog/games/an-apprentices-tale-2/) to see more of the images taken during the building of Titanic. The story is from the perspective of a young apprentice working at Harland & Wolff and is told using the Ulster-Scots vernacular common here in Northern Ireland.

@@seedlingeducation wow - more amazing images and the story is cool
