My grandfather, and great grandfather, used to work in the shipyards of Belfast Docks working on the boilers. My grandfather sailed the titanic on it's maiden-maiden voyage from Belfast to Liverpool. Luckily he popped off then. My great grandfather however did not have such luck. He died at sea, washed ashore on Halloween in Bangor, Wales.
In turn, my dad grew up in the tenements by the dockside. He took me there once. Maybe this is why I love boats so much.
h/t my brother Joel for the amazing stop motion below.
