This view (from the Queen Elizabeth Bridge) is now blocked by the Lagan Weir at Donegall Quay J3474 : The Lagan Weir, Belfast and the road and railway bridges J3474 : Belfast Cross Harbour Links. To the left are P&O ferries for Ardrossan and Liverpool (now the seasonal IoM service and winter lay-ups J3474 : Out of work ferry at Belfast). The West Twin silo (left of middle survives, in use). Next right (now the Stena berths J3475 : Stena Line Terminal, Belfast) is a Fisher coaster (probably loading aggregates). The West Twin power station (now closed and being demolished) had only two chimneys. Coal-fired the black smoke was a feature. There is another coaster (at the Ballast Quay – also part of the Stena terminal) probably loading scrap and, in the distance, the old 200 ton crane at the Stormont Wharf. On the eastern side of the Lagan, a Kelly’s boat J3475 : A Kelly's "coal boat" at Belfast is discharging coal at Queen’s Quay J3474 : Queen's Quay, Belfast with its swan-necked cranes and coal yards J3474 : A ship in the Abercorn Basin, Belfast. Oh and the water is cleaner now. See also J3474 : The River Lagan, Belfast (2008).
