Two Belfast history books back in print

From the Ulster Historical Foundation (www.ancestryireland.com), news of two books about Belfast back in print:

**Early Belfast: The origins and growth of an Ulster town to 1750**

Early Belfast: The origins and growth of an Ulster town to 1750 charts the town's remarkable growth from site to city, from the first mentions of it as long ago as the 7th century through to the 13th
century Anglo-Norman settlement and Gaelic revival, to the Plantation town of the 17th and 18th centuries.

**An unlikely success story: The Belfast shipbuilding industry, 1880-1935**

By the start of the twentieth century Belfast had become one of the main centres of the British shipbuilding industry. But shipbuilding in Belfast was a most unlikely success story in that the cities
prosperity was created by a strange mixture of entrepreneurial ability, timing and technical expertise. An unlikely success story: The Belfast shipbuilding industry, 1880-1935 offers the first history
of the Belfast shipbuilding industry and the tens of thousands affected by its growth.
