Belfast

Belfast, the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, grew in the 19th century into an industrial centre known for linen and shipbuilding; it received city status in 1888, and the Harland & Wolff yard built the RMS Titanic. The physicist William Thomson, later Lord Kelvin, was born there in 1824 and began his schooling at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, where his father taught. The city's Jewish community was served from 1915 to 1919 by Rabbi Yitzhak HaLevi Herzog, later Chief Rabbi of Ireland and then Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel. The Christian writer C. S. Lewis was born in Belfast in 1898.
