TITANIC

While I was up in Belfast for the Tall Ships event, I decided to have a look around to see if I could see anything else of interest.
And as you may (or may not) know the RMS Titanic, the ship known as unsinkable, the biggest and any other superlative you care to mention was designed and built at the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland in 1911.

Here is a photo of a 'drawing room' in the building in which plans for Titanic were drawn up. As you can see it's showing its age but it's also complete with people dressed in period costumes.

The next photo shows the rails of the slipway down which Titanic would have gone where she was launched.This is the Nomadic, a ship of the White Star Line, just like Titanic. She was used as a tender to bring people out to Titanic.
