Here I am down at the magnificent Victorian architecture Belfast Harbour Commisssioners Office once again. This building holds the actual Titanic Captain's Table. It is a gem of a building and is well worth a visit. Few tourists or indeed locals ever get to see inside this remarkable building. People simply do not know that the Titanic Captains's table is here to view!
I filmed outside once again and asked permission to go inside and film too but I was told to apply to do so beforehand.
Ten years ago I filmed the wonderful mosaic flooring, the staircase, the Belfast ship paintings, the museum and the actual Titanic Captain's Table that you can walk round inside. It is a pity I was not allowed inside to do so again.
BUT..... If you would like to see inside check out the video link below-

The present site of the Harbour Office has been in use since 1847 as the headquarters of the Belfast Harbour Commissioners. The building was constructed between 1847 - 1854, firstly designed by George Smith in 1854 and later by the Belfast architect William Henry Lynn. The building was done in style of an Italian palazzo. It features some gorgeous marble mosaic floors and stunning stained glass windows the most impressive of which shows the Seal of Belfast Harbour Commissioners, others depict commerce, ship building and enterprise as well as featuring a number of the coat of arms of cities with which Belfast has done business.
The site is also home to a fascinating art galley. The collection here has been built up over the years by Harbour Commissioners. The gallery is located in ornate and opulent rooms decorated in Victorian fashion, the art works nestle themselves happily on these walls. The rooms boast work from prominent Irish artists such as; William Conor and Joseph Carey. There are also a number of sculptures from France and Italy. Mainly though the collection is impressive in its historical importance. There are a number of old landscapes, historical events and relevant scenes from Belfast's past. For example there is an 1851 painting of Belfast Harbour's Ferry Steps. Other pieces include the portrait of Sir Robert Baird, Proprietor of the Belfast Telegraph and Harbour Commissioner from 1932 to 1934.
