Belfast-built Cruiser and Sailing Ship to be Preserved Tho Polly Woodside The cruiser Belfast A Second World War cruiser, and an ancient sailing ship, both built in the shipyards of Harland and Wolff, are to be preserved for posterity — at opposite ends of the earth The cruiser which has been saved from the scrapyard is the 15.000-ton Belfast. The last of the Royal Navy's big-gun ships, she has been presented by the Westminster Government to a Trust, of which a former captain of Belfast (now Rear- Admtral Morgan Giles. MP) is chairman And she will become a museum ship on permanent exhibition in the Pool of London Government funds will not be involved in the enterprise, because private support of up to 100.000 pounds has been promised by Mr Jack Smith, a Committee member of the Maritime Trust, with which the Belfast trustees are working closely. Belfast was completed in 1939 and she took part in some of the maior naval engagements of World War II It was Belfast which fired the first salvo in the action which sank the German cruiser Scharnhorst in 1943 And she also spearheaded the invasion of Europe in 1944 Readers are already aware of the efforts of the National Trust of Australia (Victoria) to preserve the Polly Woodslde. described as the prettiest ship ever built in Belfast' An appeal has been launched and it is expected that the task of restoring her to something of her former glory will commence without delay Grandeur Shed Built in Belfast in 1885 and named after a relative of the owner the Polly Woodslde spent most of her working life in the Pacific.
