It is the world’s largest Titanic visitor experience and is located beside the Titanic Slipways, the Harland and Wolff Drawing Offices and Hamilton Graving Dock – the very place where Titanic was designed, built and launched in 1912.
Titanic Belfast tells the story of the Titanic, from her conception in Belfast in the early 1900s, through her construction and launch, to her famous maiden voyage and subsequent place in history.
It is a must-see for anyone with an interest in the fascinating Titanic story and a development that Belfast as a city can be proud of. Using innovative design, interpretation and technology, including CGI, film and video, audio, archival materials, objects and scale models, each gallery will focus on a unique part of the Titanic story and the context of the period in which it was built.
Titanic Belfast also operates SS Nomadic, the last remaining White Star Line vessel and the biggest Titanic artefact in the world. Famous as a tender for Titanic, and a quarter of her size in every dimension, guests can marvel at the original ornate doors, panels, plasterwork and staircases that greeted first and second class passengers on board, as well as see what life was like as a crew.
Highlights include:
The Shipyard Ride where visitors can join H&W workers to be taken on a shipyard journey, exploring the complex process and challenges of building the Olympic-class liners.
Encounter individuals with stories to tell such as the chief designer, members of the Harland and Wolff Guarantee Group, local craftsmen and passengers.
Experience the reality of the ship’s interiors with a 3D cave that allows visitors to ‘walk’ the corridors of the ship.
The discovery of the wreck and an insight into contemporary undersea exploration.
