We’ll have a great Mari-time...

THOUSANDS of people flocked to Queen’s Quay and Titanic Quarter yesterday for the Belfast International Maritime Festival. Visitors were able to board real pirate ships as well as British and Irish Navy vessels. And there were plenty of activities on offer for families including live music, boat tours and cookery demonstrations.
