Yacht Nebraska North Coast Sailing Belfast Harbour Marina
I'm down at Belfast Harbour Marina and this is the magnificent Yacht Nebraska of North Coast Sailing. Yacht Nebraska is a stunning 44ft Elan 434 Impression.
Do you know what after reading the website i'm nearly tempted to give this a go. lol Me, who has never set foot on a yacht before!
North Coast Sailing offers skippered sailing charters from Northern Ireland's north coast, exploring surrounding waters, taking in some of the best islands and scenery the world has to offer. Your skipper is Tony Dunlop who is an MCA qualified RYA Yachtmaster Offshore (Sail) and has been around boats of all shapes and sizes for as long as he can remember. He'll be running the boat himself so will need your help for a whole range of tasks, but nothing that you're not able or comfortable with. Nebraska can be sailed single-handed so there's no obligation. This however, is very much an adventure holiday and we think that you'll love getting involved, be it on deck, in the galley or at the chart table.
Our key objective is to give you an exciting adventure in a safe, comfortable and friendly environment. Nebraska serves that up with a nice bit of luxury. She's been coded to MCA regulations for commercial use, so does all of this in ultimate safety.
We run several holidays throughout the year, ranging from 3 to 7 night trips. Longer excursions can be arranged under private, whole boat charter.
We want to make sure that you have the very best experience on board and there'll be plenty of time to get involved with running the boat, relax with a book or lie on your bunk with an iPod. This is your getaway and Tony will make sure your holiday leaves you feeling refreshed with many fond memories.

UNITED KINGDOM: Belfast City Hall (Northern Ireland, UK)
UNITED KINGDOM: Belfast City Hall (Northern Ireland, UK)
Belfast City Hall (Irish: Halla na Cathrach Bhéal Feirste; Ulster-Scots: Bilfawst Citie Haw) is the civic building of Belfast City Council located in Donegall Square, Belfast, Northern Ireland. It faces North and effectively divides the commercial and business areas of the city centre.
The site now occupied by Belfast City Hall was once the home of the White Linen Hall, an important international Linen Exchange. The street that runs from the back door of Belfast City Hall through the middle of Linen Quarter is Linen Hall Street.
Plans for the City Hall began in 1888 when Belfast was awarded city status by Queen Victoria. This was in recognition of Belfast's rapid expansion and thriving linen, rope-making, shipbuilding and engineering industries. During this period Belfast briefly overtook Dublin as the most populous city in Ireland.
Construction began in 1898 under the supervision of architect Sir Alfred Brumwell Thomas and was completed in 1906 at a cost of £369,000. Belfast Corporation, now the council, its their profits from the gas industry to pay for the construction of the Belfast City Hall. Local firms H&J Martin and WH Stephens were among the companies involved in the construction. James G. Gamble, architect, was the clerk of works.
The city hall in Durban, South Africa is almost an exact replica of Belfast's City Hall. It was built in 1910 and designed by Stanley G. Hudson, who was inspired by the Belfast design. The Port of Liverpool Building, designed by Arnold Thornley and completed in 1913, is another very close relative.
On 1 August 2006 the City Hall celebrated its centenary with a Century of Memories exhibition and family picnic day.
On 3 December 2012, the City Council voted to limit the days that the Union Flag flies from City Hall to no more than 18 designated days. Since 1906, the flag had been flown every day of the year. The move was backed by the Council's Irish nationalist Councillors and by its Alliance Party Councillors. It was opposed by the unionist Councillors, who had enjoyed a majority on the council until the Northern Ireland local elections of 2011. On the night of the vote, unionist and loyalist protesters tried to storm the City Hall. They held protests throughout Northern Ireland, some of which became violent.
The exterior is built mainly from Portland stone and is in the Baroque Revival style. It covers an area of one and a half acres and has an enclosed courtyard.
Featuring towers at each of the four corners, with a lantern-crowned 173 ft (53 m) copper dome in the centre, the City Hall dominates the city centre skyline. As with other Victorian buildings in the city centre, the City Hall's copper-coated domes are a distinctive green.
