OF NOTE : “In the year 1903, enough linen was woven in Ireland to wrap a six-foot wide strip around the earth. A few years later, the Titanic had commissioned 40,000 Ulster linen napkins to be made for her maiden voyage. The industrial revolution had brought about new and better ways to produce linen and its success had greatly increased the demand for workers. In the thirty-five years between 1891-1926, one in every three working women in Belfast was directly employed in the linen industry. By 1915, over 75,000 people were working in the industry and Northern Ireland had become the largest linen-producing region in the world”.
