Titanic sculpture unveiled in Belfast

Visitors to Belfast who are interested in nautical history will be able to see a new Titanic-themed sculpture.

A replica 30 ft section of the bow has been unveiled and the monument will be placed at Oxford Island, the Belfast Telegraph reports.

It was created as part of a Channel 4 documentary called We Built Titanic and it has been donated to the city.

Both modern and Edwardian techniques were used to recreate the structure, which will be situated beside the berthing dock used by the famous liner nearly 100 years ago.

Brendan Walker, an engineer on the project, told the news provider: "We have been marvelling at the physical strength, speed and technique of the people that built this ship. We are here to leave a tribute to the people who built Titanic."

Earlier this month, it was announced by the information outlet that Royal Navy vessels would be coming to the area.
