Belfast City Hall Has Lots Of Statues And Memorials
Titanic Memorial Moved to its current location on 24 March 1960, this memorial was originally unveiled on 26 June 1920 in Donegall Square North. It is the last work of acclaimed sculptor Thomas Brock who died two months after its unveiling. The Belfast-built RMS Titanic, part of the White Star Line, sank on 15 April 1912. In the memorial, the female figure of Thane looks down upon two sea nymphs as they rise from the waves with the body of a drowned seaman in their arms. The names of the dead include the ship's designer Thomas Andrews and doctor John Simpson. Queen Victoria Queen Victoria succeeded King William IV on 20 June 1837 and her coronation took place a year later. The memorial was erected to celebrate the monarch's jubilee and was paid for by public shilling subscription. It was built by Thomas Brock and unveiled by King Edward VII on 27 July 1903. The Sicilian marble statue is 11 feet high. On each side are two life-size bronze figures which represent spinning and shipbuilding respectively. At the back is a bronze figure of a child, thought to represent education. Sir Edward Harland A memorial to Sir Edward J Harland Bart MP, the former head of Harland and Wolff shipbuilding yard and Mayor of Belfast from 1885 to 1886, was unveiled on 23 June 1903 by the Earl of Glasgow. It was also sculpted by Thomas Brock. Belfast War Memorial (Cenotaph) The Belfast War Memorial is in the form of a cenotaph with the background of a colonnade. The memorial was unveiled by Field Marshall Viscount Allenby on Armistice Day, 11 November 1929. It was designed by Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas and constructed by WJ Campbell between 1925 and 1927. The colonnade consists of a Greek order of columns on a stylobate with an enriched cornice and balustrade. Statue of Sir James Horner Haslett. James Horner Haslett (January 1832 - 18 August 1905) was an Irish Conservative politician who sat in the House of Commons of the United Kingdom from 1885 to 1886. Haslett was the son of the Rev. Henry Haslett of Castlereagh, co. Down and his wife Mary Wilson daughter of John Wilson, linen merchant of Drumcroon, Coleraine. He was educated at Academical Institute Belfast and became a chemist and druggist. He was an alderman, and a J.P. of Belfast. At the 1885 general election Haslett was elected Member of Parliament for Belfast West. He held the seat until 1886. He was mayor of Belfast in 1887 and knighted in the same year. He was mayor again in 1888. Haslett died at the age of 73.
