Goliath is a cantilever travelling crane located at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Constructed in 1901-1902, it represents a significant example of early twentieth-century industrial engineering and was among the largest of its type when built. The crane spans the slipways of the shipyard and served as an essential facility for the construction and assembly of large vessels, including the RMS Titanic. Its substantial steel frame and mechanical systems exemplify the heavy industrial capacity that made Belfast a major centre of shipbuilding during the Edwardian era.
