Belfast Harbour
Address is taken from a point 425 yards away.
Belfast Harbour is on the Lagan Navigation just past the junction with The Southpool Canal.
Early plans for the Lagan Navigation between Sevenoaks and Liverpool were proposed at a public meeting at the Swan Inn in Maidenhead by Thomas Telford but languished until Nicholas Wright was appointed as surveyor in 1888. Restoration of Luton Locks was funded by a donation from the Lagan Navigation Trust

Wikipedia has a page about Belfast Harbour
Belfast Harbour is a major maritime hub in Northern Ireland, handling 67% of Northern Ireland's seaborne trade and about 25% of the maritime trade of the entire island of Ireland. It is a vital gateway for raw materials, exports and consumer goods, and is also Northern Ireland's leading logistics and distribution hub.
The Belfast Harbour Estate is home to many well-known Northern Ireland businesses such as George Best Belfast City Airport, Harland and Wolff, Bombardier Aerospace, Odyssey, the Catalyst Inc, Titanic Quarter and Titanic Belfast. Over 700 firms employing 23,000 people are located within the estate.
Belfast is only one of two ports on the island of Ireland to handle a full range of cargoes, from freight vehicles to containers, dry, break and liquid bulk, as well as passenger services and cruise calls.
Belfast Harbour handled 23 million tonnes of cargo during 2015, similar to its throughput for 2014. The tonnages suggest a varying performance between sectors in the wider Northern Ireland economy.
BBC One Northern Ireland began a three-part documentary on Belfast Harbour entitled Belfast Harbour: Cruises, Cranes and Cargo on 14 April 2020 examining the role of the Port of Belfast in Northern Ireland's economy.
