These giant yellow cranes are icons of Belfast’s shipbuilding past. They’re so big, it feels like they could lift the whole city! I kept joking they look like lazy Transformers on a coffee break. Still, they’re cool to see and great for photo (:

These cranes are massive and you can’t miss them while you’re in the area and as others have said, remind you of the shipbuilding history with the Titanic Quarter.

These cranes dominate the skyline as you walk around East Belfast. They are situated on the Harland and Wolff shipyard. Goliath was erected in 1969 and Samson in 1974. They are not worth a special visit. They are fenced off, so you cannot get close to them. They make a nice backdrop to photographs, though.
