	Harland & Wolff Shipyard
		Harland and Wolff was formed by Edward James Harland and Gustav Wilhelm Wolff in 1861.
		Wolff was the nephew of Gustavus Schwabe, a financier from Hamburg.
		Harland made a success of the business through several innovations, notably replacing the wooden upper decks with iron ones which increased the strength of the ships; and giving the hulls a flatter bottom and squarer section, which increased their capacity.

	Harland & Wolff
		Wolff, who had been educated in Hamburg and Liverpool, was also an engineer, and the combination of these two young and able men led to a whole spate of new ideas in shipbuilding.

	Encyclopedia Titanica Message Board: Harland and Wolff
		Hello, now that Harland and Wolff, shipbuilders to the world, and most importantly remembered for the construction of the RMS Olympic, Titanic and HMHS Britannic, has ceased operations, could anyone tell me where to find in print (or describe in writing) what the house flag (burgee) looked like (shape, colors, etc).
		I was interested in the Harland and Wolff house flag.
		I wrote to the Titanic Historical Society about it and was advised that it could not be reproduced as per Harland and Wolff, which I thought odd if the company was no longer in business (certainly the WSL flag has been reproduced and they certainly are defunct).

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Pope and Circumstance
		People didn't simply point to the Titanic's hull number after the ship sank and claim it was a bad omen, the legend says; shipyard workers allegedly recognized it as a portent of disaster while the Titanic was still under construction.
		Supposedly, the primarily Catholic workforce employed in Harland and Wolff's Belfast shipyard recognized the blasphemous message encoded in the hull number (undoubtedly assigned by Protestant heretics) and were sufficiently rattled by it to stop working until management reassured them the message was the product of coincidence, not design.
		The second element also fails because virtually all of Harland and Wolff's workforce was Protestant, not Catholic, and therefore would not have been "spooked" to the point of refusing to work due to a 'NO POPE' message.
