Sailortown Cultural & Historical Society
This website is dedicated to the Sailortown district of Belfast
and all the people who once lived in its streets,
those, for whom, it will always be home.

The following poem was jointly composed by the members of The Tin Bath Writers Group. As such it has no name but has come to be known as the "Group Poem". It is dedicated to the people of this once thriving dockland community.
Where wander now the souls of Sailortown’s lost children, Now that the tempest has passed. The salt on my skin tastes of tides and tears And the sea is calm
Where voices hold me in the stillness of time. The truth will lead us forward And the Lord holds me in his palm As the spire is their welcome and farewell Where wander now those lost souls of Sailortown?
