Shared History Interpretive Project

SHIP was established in 2006 to accept, collate and record information in order to promote and inform historical heritage projects encouraging the development of a shared history. Our organisation records a living history of Belfast dockers, their families, the port in general and its connected industries and communities. We have built up a portfolio of banners, books, photographs and documentation allowing us to exhibit this social history. SHIP has experience in promoting activities that bring together people of all ages and backgrounds. The main focus of these activities has been to showcase and promote the historical contribution made by many that established Belfast as a world renowned industrial and maritime city.
