where was the titanic built

The Titanic was built in Belfast, Ireland (then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) at the Harland & Wolff shipyard on Queen's Island. Construction began with the laying of the keel on March 31, 1909, and the ship was built on slipway number three under a massive gantry, which was the largest in the world at the time. The shipyard employed thousands of workers, with about 3,000 directly involved in the Titanic's construction. The Titanic was launched on May 31, 1911, and completed by April 1912
