The display started modestly with spotlights on the building picking out silhouettes of Belfast's landmarks. | |
Then 3D projections of beams moving and cogs whirling told the story of the ship being built. | |
From the creation of the great ship, the display moved on to represent the fully finished ship. | |
An almost full-size Titanic appeared to rise up from the very place where it was built. | |
Forty engineers from the arts and technology company Seeper, took six months to design and install the display. | |
The crowds gathered at Albert Quay applauded. | |
The event was organised by Belfast City Council and the Northern Ireland Tourist Board who said it had been a great success. |
