Sinopse
Características

It is 1910 and fifty-six year old William Henry Kelly, a caulker at Belfasts Queens Island shipyard, is engaged in building the White Star liner Titanic, when Belle, his beloved wife of 30 years, is brutally murdered. Based on the true story of the authors great grandfather, this is an account of life in Belfasts shipyards and working class districts during the turbulent first quarter of the 20th century. Set against the background of the construction and demise of Belfasts iconic but ill-fated super liner, and the effects of the First World War on industrial and community relations in Belfast, it tells the story of an ordinary but intelligent working mans battle with social injustice and with the demons within himself. This tale of a hard-working man, whose personal tragedy is eclipsed by by that of the doomed ship and her fifteen hundred lost souls, is told with humour, pathos and an affection for the characters.
