RMS Titanic struck an iceberg on her maiden
voyage and sank on 15 April 1912. She hit the
iceberg four days into the crossing, at 11:40pm
on 14 April 1912, and sank at 2:20am the
following morning.

18th april 1912
The Carpathia brought the survivors to
New York, which was Titanic’s planned
destination.
The Voyage
Those who travelled on Titanic came
from starkly different worlds. Some
came from humble stock, saving for
months for the three pounds that
would take them in third class steerage
to a new life in America. Boarding in
Southhampton, Cherbourg or Cobh, the
last stop before New York, overpowered
by the giant ship towering over them,
they brought their dreams along with
their few belongings.
Colonel John Jacob Astor,
America’s richest man, boarded at
Cherbourg, bringing his pregnant

Along with others of his class, like
fashion designer Lady Duff-Gordon and
fabulously wealthy industrialist Benjamin

The Tragedy
On board with designer Thomas
Andrews were fitters and draughtsmen
of the Guarantee Group, instructed by
Harland & Wolff to fix any problems that
might occur. But they were powerless
to prevent the tragedy that shook the
world.
At 11.40pm on Sunday April 14th,
while steaming south of Newfoundland,
Canada at a speed of 20 knots, Titanic
struck a huge iceberg, fatally wounding
its hull. The noise, Lady Duff-Gordon
later reported, was like a giant hand
rolling great bowls along the side of
Titanic - The Legend Comes Home / 7
the ship. Less than three hours later,
the survivors watched helplessly
from lonely lifeboats as the last of the
great liner slipped beneath the waves.
Within hours they would be rescued
by RMS Carpathia and taken onwards
to New York. But they left behind over
1500 crew and passengers, who had
perished beneath the waves. The world
mourned but nowhere was the grief
more keenly felt than in Belfast.

Titanic Today:
Only in Belfast
For over 80 years Titanic lay hidden in the
depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
On September 1st 1985, her wreck
was finally discovered by Dr Robert
Ballard and his team. They confirmed
what Belfast already knew. The brilliant
designers and the workers who gave
their labour, energy and, in some cases,
even their lives to the building of Titanic
were not to blame. The cause of the
sinking lay elsewhere.
A renewed pride in Belfast was
intensified by the 1997 release of James
Cameron’s ‘Titanic’, still the second
most successful film of all time. Today,
the incomparable aura of Titanic and
her story continues to captivate the
imaginations of people of all ages. But,
while there are hundreds of Titanic
exhibitions and museums around the
world, only in Belfast can you trace her
remarkable story in the city of her birth.
From the atmospheric Harland & Wolff
Drawing Offices where she was designed
to the slipways from which she was
launched, the Thompson Dry Dock where
she was fitted out - her last footprint in
history - and the original pump-house
that operated it, you can still touch the
legacy of the legend in Belfast.
By foot, bus, taxi, cycle, car and
Titanic - The Legend Comes Home / 9
boat a range of tours take you to the
source of that legend, while you can
celebrate the genius of the engineers
who designed her and the passion and
pride of those who built her at stateof-the-art attractions and a range of
exhibitions throughout Belfast. Relive
the Titanic story as never before at the
world’s largest Titanic visitor experience,
Titanic Belfast, where you can experience
9 interactive galleries telling the story of
Titanic and maritime Belfast.
In Belfast you can you trace the
Titanic story to its source, discover the
passion and pride of those who designed
and built her and relive the excitement of
the Titanic era when the city was at the
height of its powers. Come and share the
moment with us!
Only in Belfast...
can you trace the incredible
Titanic story around the former

Slipways
On 31st March 1911, in just over 60
seconds, using over 20 tonnes of tallow
(grease) and soap to ease her passage,
Titanic was launched from these very
slipways. It was here too that thousands
of riveters, welders, shipwrights and
others laboured on her giant hull,
clambering over the towering Arrol
Gantry, the biggest in the world when
it was specially built for Titanic and her
sister ships. The slipways can also be
seen from a special vantage point in the
Titanic Belfast visitor attraction, which
stands just a few yards away.
The following tours will be accessing the

SS Nomadic
The last remaining White Star Line vessel,
SS Nomadic is currently being restored at
Hamilton Dock, near Titanic Belfast. The
boat, which once ferried first and second
class passengers to Titanic from Cherbourg,
was designed by Thomas Andrews, who
designed Titanic, and built at Harland &
Wolff beneath the giant profiles of Titanic
and Olympic. She sailed out of Belfast
Lough on the same day as Olympic to
begin her working career. On April 10th
1912 Nomadic took 142 passengers
from Cherbourg Port to join Titanic on
her maiden voyage. On board were Sir
Cosmo Duff-Gordon and his celebrated
fashion designer wife, Lucillle, American
socialite Molly Brown and wealthy
industrialist Benjamin Guggenheim.
Nomadic would go on to serve Olympic
during her long and successful career.
After an eventful life Nomadic
returned to Belfast in 2006. Following her
restoration she will be opened for visitors
Titanic - The Legend Comes Home / 15
in May 2013 to follow in the footsteps of
Titanic’s first class passengers and view
an on-board exhibition on life in Belfast
during the Titanic era.

in the building of the City Hall. The
Lord Mayor’s Suite was also known as
the ‘Titanic Rooms’, as it was built by
craftsmen who later worked on Titanic.
The Titanic Memorial Garden was
offically opened on 15 April 2012, the
100th anniversary of the Titanic sinking.
The garden is set on two levels with the
upper level containing a nine metre long
plinth, inscribed with the names of those
who died on RMS Titanic. This is the first

The innovative genius that

kit - using scale replicas
of Titanic’s component

legendary liner beside
the Abercorn Basin, near
where the real ship was
built. The £200,000 piece
was inspired by the plastic
frames of the Airfix model
kits. At night it lights up
