SS Nomadic — Attraction in Belfast

Totally worth it. Make time to visit it as this grand piece of history is more concrete in providing a feel of a ship of the Titanic era than the main building.

Our kid had fun following the trail of rooms and searching for characters. We are a traveling family originating from Colorado, so we had been to Molly Brown’s house in Denver. She was featured here amongst other passengers, and the staff member (Gayle, who took us under her wing for the visit!) knew a lot about her also. Make sure you ring the bell and press the button to interact with the holograms on board.

The ship itself has a fascinating and diverse history, and is the only remaining White Star Line boat that exists.

We spent about 1.5 hours here, which includes looking around inside the ship and outside at the surrounding plaques and art around the dry dock. The ticket is included with the Titanic Belfast ticket so make sure you use it! To do so, you will need a FULL day at the site to see everything.

Don’t miss the tall vertical sculpture about a 2 minute walk away towards the marina. It’s a very clever piece of art once you...

The SS Nomadic, is the tender ship from the Titanic that would carry passengers and mail to the great ship before it sailed on its maiden voyage. It is the closest thing that you can set foot on from that time period that is closely related to the tragic tale of the SS Titanic.

It was built at the same time as the Titanic, so it has the same finishes and design as the great ship. It was also designed by Thomas Andrews as well and built in 1911. It is a quarter of the size of its big sister and tendered the first and second class passengers to the big ship.

The SS Nomadic has its own interesting history, serving in both world wars, and tendering passengers for fifty years. It was also a restaurant for thirty years beside the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This great ship is the very last White Star Line left in existence. You can imagine yourself walking in the Titanic exploring this ship. For anyone who is interested in the Titanic’s history (my wife is a huge fan), this is a bucket list experience.
