You’d take with a pinch of salt an offer to meet the last surviving scion of a famous family, especially if she was supposed to have rubbed shoulders with the Titanic, served in both world wars, and spent 30 years as a restaurateur and bon vivant in Paris before coming home to Belfast — but hoist £9 (a £17 value) for today’s deal from, SS Nomadic and you’ll see that every word of this ancient mariner’s yarn is true.
- You’ll get two adult tickets to visit the SS Nomadic which was built at Harland and Wolff and launched in 1911 as a tender carrying passengers to White Star liners including the RMS Titanic in style.
- Subsequently she was used as a troopship, minesweeper, and again in commercial service with the Cunard Line before becoming a floating restaurant and party venue in Paris, before being returned to Belfast in 2006 for complete restoration.
- Visitors to the historic Hamilton Dock can explore four decks with a variety of interactive and traditional story-telling displays.
- See first and second class and the crew’s quarters, and disover the challenges of restoring this mini-Titanic after a ninety-five year career.
Though the Nomadic isn’t going to sail away, the gangplank on this deal is about to go up — so all aboard:
SS Nomadic opened to the public on 1 June 2013. The boat, which once ferried first and second class passengers to Titanic from Cherbourg, was designed by Titanic’s designer Thomas Andrews, and built at the Harland & Wolff Shipyard beneath the giant profiles of RMS Titanic and Olympic.
She sailed out of Belfast Lough on the same day as Olympic to begin her working career. On 10 April 1912, Nomadic took 142 passengers from Cherbourg Port to join Titanic on her maiden voyage. On board, passengers included Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon and his celebrated fashion designer wife, Lucille, American socialite Molly Brown and wealthy industrialist Benjamin Guggenheim.
Nomadic would go on to serve Olympic and other ships during her long and successful career. She carried famous passengers including Charlie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie.
After an eventful life, Nomadic returned to Belfast in 2006.
Now fully restored, she is open for visitors to follow in the footsteps of Titanic’s first class passengers. View an on-board exhibition of life in Belfast during the Titanic era.
