A fab article on the BBC today (link here) following the construction process of the massive wind turbines under the Samson and Goliath cranes at the Harland and Wolff yard.  I’m starting to really love the sight of those cranes on the skyline in the TQ, and it’s been great to see them in daily use.

If you’re ever in the TQ area and hear what sounds like an air-raid siren, watch the cranes closely: the siren is the signal that one of them is moving (at the exciting speed of one-and-a-half miles per hour).  The walking tour groups can never resist stopping until we’ve figured out which crane is slowly changing position!

And the best fact from the article on the BBC?  The wind turbines we’re making in Belfast are the largest in the world.  Biggest ships… biggest wind turbines…  little old Belfast, leading the way again.
