In pictures: Harland & Wolff Drawing Offices
The Harland and Wolff headquarters and drawing offices, where engineers drew up the plans for the Titanic, closed in 1989 and soon fell into disrepair. The building is soon to be renovated, so photographer Christopher Heaney decided to capture the offices for posterity
Some of the world’s most famous ships, including the RMS Titanic and the Olympic, were designed in the drawing office and built in the nearby yard
The building was also Harland & Wolff's administration centre and such notable figures as Thomas Andrews, Lord Pirrie and Alexander Carlisle had their offices here
Christopher Heaney's exhibition is one of the events planned at the Ulster Hall in 2012 to mark the centenary of the Titanic's maiden voyage and sinking
The venue will also show a film about the Titanic made in Germany in 1943 which transformed the story of the ship and its sinking into a piece of Nazi propaganda against the Allies
Also at the Ulster Hall, the Ulster Orchestra will perform a new work by Ian Wilson inspired by the Titanic and her sister ship Olympic
The photography exhibition will run in the Ulster Hall from Monday 6 February until Saturday 3 March
