Known as the Titanic’s ‘little
sister’, the SS Nomadic is the
last remaining White Star Line
ship in existence. Having been
fully restored, the beautiful
vessel now sits in Belfast’s
historic Hamilton Dock, giving
visitors the chance to behold
its jaw-dropping splendour
up close. Showcasing over a
century of authentic maritime
history, the vessel – which was
designed by Thomas Andrews
and built to the same design
as its ill-fated sibling – is just a
stone’s throw from the popular
Titanic
Belfast
museum.
Having once conveyed 142
passengers from Cherbourg
Port to join Titanic on her
maiden voyage, SS Nomadic
now serves as one of Belfast’s
primary tourist attractions.
You’ll also more learn about the
Nomadic’s intriguing history,
from its period of active service
in two world wars to its guise
as a restaurant and party
venue when moored beside
the Eiffel Tower. Furthermore,
there’s an opportunity to view
on-board exhibitions of life in
the city during the Titanic era.
Ran by enthusiastic guides and
offering good value for money,
it makes for an enjoyable and
interactive way to learn more
about this storied era.
