Next door to the Belfast Harbour Commissioner's Office is this unique maritime-inspired church. Built in 1853 as a tribute to the city's seafaring traditions, its interior features a pulpit shaped like a ship's bow, the bell from 19th Century-built battleship HMS Hood and lifeboat-shaped collection boxes.

The bell is not from the WW2 (actually 1918) battle cruiser HMS Hood, but from her predecessor the HMS Hood, a Sovreign class battleship built in 1891 and sunk in Portsmouth harbour in 1914 as a blockship.
