A Titanic Day

Day 12 - 12 June - was Titanic day especially for Josh who has always had a fascination for this mighty ship. This will be a short blog because I could say so much but I won't.


The Titanic Belfast Visitor Centre is something to behold, the exhibition space is amazing and the whole experience was very interesting and thought provoking. In the early part of the exhibition it concentrates on the shipbuilding experience itself and the social and economic impact Harland and Wolff had on Belfast. The latter part is about the sinking and the human tragedy but it is done in a sensitive manner. There is also an indoor cable car ride and a short film. I highly recommend it to anyone coming to Belfast, it is a must.






There is also a little tender, Nomadic, which was built specifically as the tender for Titanic. It was used to ferry 1st and 2nd class passengers to the ship. It has been carefully restored even down to the toilets!

It is now the only White Star Line ship in existence and hence it is the only tangible link to the Titanic. That was also a very interesting tour and one to be recommended.
