We have been fortunate enough to have had a fine and sunny day today. Especially so, since various organizations in Belfast's Titanic Quarter - formerly the Belfast shipyard, Harland and Wolff - put on a marvellous event at the Thompson Dock Pump-house, which is adjacent to the Thompson Graving Dock (where RMS Titanic was fitted out).
There was a delightful display of classic, vintage vehicles; tours of the Pump-house; and other costume jewellery stalls, too.
The Pump-house is a most impressive feat of engineering: I wonder if it can still operate? And when it was last used operationally? Apparently it was converted from steam to electricity ca 1950.

Glad you made it down to the vintage day at TQ.
