TITANIC BELFAST

On 7th February P7H visited the Titanic Centre at Queen’s Island in Belfast. We had a fabulous day and enjoyed our guided ‘Ship of Dreams’ tour before visiting the SS Nomadic, the last surviving ship owned by the White Star Line. The Nomadic was Titanic’s tender, bringing passengers from the port of Cherbourg out to join her before the ship’s ill fated maiden voyage.
