More about this scene
For those who could not join the Belfast Boat Club, with its tennis court and long tea-room, there was still the canal to be discovered at Stranmillis. Here was the beginning of the canal: the boats are moored just above No 1 lock, the first of 27 needed to reach Lough Neagh. The smoking chimneys tell of the cramped homes of the river people - in their parlance they were at 'Molly Ward's Lock'. Up to this point the barges had navigated the wide, tidal river above the Belfast coal quays pulled by steam-engined tugs.
