When I walk into this room,	0:34:05	0:34:08
I think I'm walking into a room in the Titanic.	0:34:08	0:34:12
I do get that sense of	0:34:12	0:34:13
deja vu all the time.	0:34:13	0:34:15
William James Pirrie had two jobs.	0:34:16	0:34:18
In 1897, he was Lord Mayor of Belfast	0:34:18	0:34:22
and he was also Chairman of Harland and Wolff.	0:34:22	0:34:25
When the City Hall was under construction,	0:34:25	0:34:27
he got his joiners to install this wood panelling here	0:34:27	0:34:30
in the Lord Mayor's cloakroom.	0:34:30	0:34:33
When this was designed, the designs for the Titanic	0:34:33	0:34:37
and the great vessels of the White Star Line were taking place.	0:34:37	0:34:41
I was Lord Mayor in 1997,	0:34:41	0:34:44
which was exactly a century after Pirrie was in office.	0:34:44	0:34:47
I would come into this room and I would certainly	0:34:47	0:34:50
think that Pirrie was still here.	0:34:50	0:34:52
I could feel his presence here.	0:34:52	0:34:55
