We docked at Belfast, and shuttled into the town centre.

Belfast is Northern Ireland's maritime gateway, largest port, enormous shipbuilding yard famous for building the ill-fated Titanic.

It has the ghosts of the Troubles which have haunted this city with riots and bloodshed for more than a century. Neither the Titanic or the Troubles interested us, so we took our sodden selves around the city centre superficially.
