A “historical wall feature” was unveiled in January (BBC) by the Shared History Interpretive Project (SHIP) (web | Fb) on the outside of the Dockers’ Club in Pilot Street in Sailortown. The new piece is a montage of about 60 images of vintage photographs, a census form, and posters of industrial life. In the top-middle there can be seen an image of the board this one replaces, which featured two carters pulling away a heavy load.
Another addition in the work is the inclusion of Billy McMullen (1888-1982) and John Quinn (1876-1935) alongside Winifred Carney (1887-1943), James Connolly (1868-1916), and Jim Larkin (1876-1947). Both McMullen and Quinn are Belfast trades-unionists. Quinn’s headstone in Milltown Cemetery can be seen in Forgotten In Life, Remembered In Death.
