At its peak Harland and Wolff employed 35,000 people to make the ships that linked Britain to its empire and defended it in wartime (as well as the doomed Titanic). In 2003, with just 135 workers, the firm officially registered as a small business. Shipbuilding had moved on, leaving the skeletons of bygone prosperity in its wake. Today the shipyard has found a new role building offshore wind turbines. Its vast Paint Hall has become a film studio; last month HBO, an American broadcaster, signed up to shoot a second series of "Game of Thrones" there. Not far away, Short Brothers, which made planes for the Wright brothers, is preparing to build sophisticated wings for new aircraft to be launched by its Canadian owner, Bombardier. NYSE Technologies has chosen Belfast's revamped "Titanic Quarter" as a centre for developing global trading systems. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
