Samen bepalen ze voor een groot deel het aanzicht van de stad.<\/strong> De kranen worden gebruikt door het bedrijf &#39;Harland &amp; Wolf&#39; die ook verantwoordelijk waren voor de bouw van de Titanic en de andere schepen van de White Star Line. De initialen H&amp;W staan duidelijk op de felgele kranen geschilderd, deze initialen zul je in Belfast op wel meer plekken tegen komen. De bewoners van Belfast zeggen vaak ook wel dat de H en W staan voor &#39;&#39;Hello and Welcome&#39;&#39; om iedereen in Belfast vriendelijk te verwelkomen. Het is leuk om even bij de kranen te kijken als je in de buurt bent, maar je mag helaas niet op de kranen om het uitzicht te bekijken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":596816,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tip_category":[3244],"class_list":["post-11188","tip","type-tip","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tip_category-bezienswaardigheden"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Samson and Goliath is een bezienswaardigheid in Belfast<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Deze grote kranen van Harland en Wolf zijn niet te missen!
