' This is the Arrol Gantry - Designed by the same designer as the Fourth Railway Bridge, William Arrol. In 1908, this enormous steel gantry was erected over two new slipways,2 and 3. They were built specifically for the construction of Olympic and Titanic, the largest ships ever built. The gantry was 840 feet long by 240 feet wide, could accommodate both ships and weighed over 6,000 tons. It fell into disuse and was removed in the 1960's for scrap! '
