The unusual presence of women in the shipyard, the erected grandstand and the readiness of Titanic all suggest that this photograph was taken shortly before her launch on 31 May 1911.
The Titanic exhibition is housed in the Transport galleries at the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum, Cultra. You can also experience "TITANICa The People's Story in the Outdoor Folk Museum.
