Titanic Belfast March 2018. The building is located on Queen's Island, an area of land at the entrance of Belfast Lough which was reclaimed from the water in the mid-19th century. It was used for many years by the shipbuilders Harland and Wolff, who built huge slipways and graving docks to accommodate the simultaneous construction of "Olympic" and "Titanic". The decline of shipbuilding in Belfast left much of the area derelict. Most of the disused structures on the island were demolished. A number of heritage features were given listed status, including the "Olympic" and "Titanic" slipways and graving docks, as well as
Cultural legacy of RMS Titanic Hill, built memorials to the ship's musicians. Each year, on the anniversary of the sinking, a wreath is laid at the site by the United States Coast Guard's International Ice Patrol. A number of museums around the world have displays on "Titanic". In Northern Ireland, the ship is commemorated by the Titanic Belfast visitor attraction, opened on 31 March 2012, that stands on the site of the shipyard where "Titanic" was built. The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum also has a substantial exhibition called "TITANICa". In England, artefacts relating to the disaster are preserved at the SeaCity Museum in Southampton
