The Victoria Channel, seen from the ferry “Ulster Queen” departing for Liverpool. On the left is the Harland & Wolff steel store - subsequently demolished. In the background (just to the right of the flagpole) is Churchill House J3474 : Former Churchill House, Belfast also demolished. The smaller white building on the right is Tomb Street sorting office J3474 : Tomb Street sorting office, Belfast now re-clad.

Another point of interest (at the edge, upper right) is a scotch derrick crane on the Albert Quay – also gone and replaced by the Stena terminal J3475 : Stena Line Terminal, Belfast (now disused upon a later move to the entrance to the harbour).

This view of the channel and the Lagan is now blocked by the cross-harbour road and railway bridges J3474 : Belfast Cross Harbour Links.
