TITANIC BELFAST + SS NOMADIC BELFAST
All Aboard SS Nomadic!
Built alongside the Titanic in 1911 and restored to her original glory, SS Nomadic is the only remaining White Star Line ship in the world and a lasting legacy of Belfast's shipbuilding industry. Once on board, visitors can learn about her turbulent and exciting history; with active service in both World Wars, over fifty years of experience carrying thousands of passengers to the world's largest trans-Atlantic liners and nearly thirty years as a restaurant and party venue moored beside the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Nomadic has a million stories to tell. Tickets are available from our website:
SS NOMADIC, Belfast Titanic Docks
I'm down at the Titanic dock not in fact to look at the massive Titanic World Center but to see the Blackford Dolphin oil rig as it passes through Belfast for a refit. (See my video on this. )
While filming I thought I'd include this short snippet on the SS Normadic which was used as a passenger tender to ferry the well to do 1st and 2nd class passengers to the Titanic for her first and last voyage. SS Nomadic was a steamship of the famous White Star Line. She was launched in April 1911 in Belfast. Built as a tender to sister ships the RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, the Nomadic is a piece of Titanic's living history as she is now the last surviving White Star Line vessel. Fully loaded she could ferry up to 1000 people at a time. She operated out of Cherbourg in France as it's port was not deep enough to accommodate Titanic.
She saw action during the 1st and 2nd World wars as minesweeper and troopship.Later she acted for tender for the Queen Elizabeth and Queen Mary still working out of Cherbourg. she stopped sailing in 1968 and became a floating restaurant. In 2005 she was going to be sold for scrap but was ultimately saved by money put forward by a number of largely Belfast Titanic enthusiasts. The following year she was towed to Belfast and restored.
A Brief History of SS Nomadic
SS Nomadic crew member, Gayle Campbell, takes us on a tour of “Titanic's little sister”.
In April 1912, the Nomadic acted as a taxi between Cherbourg harbour and the Titanic, before the latter's maiden voyage went disastrously wrong. Later in life, the Nomadic served during two wars and became a sushi bar in Paris before returning to Belfast in 2006.
SS NOMADIC THE LAST WHITE STAR SHIP
The story of the last White Star Ship, SS Nomadic, tender to Titanic amongst others, from her career to becoming a floating restaurant in Paris to her homecoming in Belfast

We visited the Belfast Titanic exhibition where the ship was built. Outside is the original location where the keel was struck. They also have the last remaining White Star Line ship - the SS Nomadic.
White Star Momentos - Nomadic Coming Home on Video
On 18th July 2006 the last remaining ship of the White Star Line returned to her birthplace, Belfast. The SS Nomadic built by Harland and Wolff Ship Yard had been created to ferry passengers on and off the mighty liners, Titanic and Olympic at the port of Cherbourg, France.
SS Nomadic is now undergoing a complete restoration and will be open to the public in time for the 2012 Titanic Maritime Festival.
The vidoe and still photos were taken by the White Star Momentos team in Belfast lough as we followed her progress into Belfast Docks.

SS Nomadic
The last floating vessel from the White Star Line, which operated Titanic, was the Nomadic, built alongside Titanic in Belfast in 1911 at Harland & Wolff, designed to tender the Gilded Class out to the large liners too big to moor alongside the dock in Cherbourg, France. Nomadic was designed by Thomas Andrews, who also designed Titanic, and to insure a consistent quality experience for the higher-end clients, many of her interior fixtures and fittings were selfsame to Titanic, and were made and installed by the same craftsmen. It was, in short, a taxi for the rich. After Nomadic made its one tender to Titanic (carrying, among others, the industrialist Benjamin Guggenheim; America's richest man, John Jacob Astor; and the Denver socialite who would become known as The Unsinkable Molly Brown), she went on to serve in both World Wars, then returned to her original duties ferrying the well-heeled out to Cunard's Queen Elizabeth. Among her clients: Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Madame Curie, Lord John Astor, and Richard Burton with Liz Taylor. Her last ride was in November, 1968. Now she sits at the Hamilton Dock in Belfast, and when running a hand along her gunwales, that there is somehow a tingling reach back through time to the edge of tragedy.

SS Nomadic is a former tender of the White Star Line, launched on 25 April 1911 in Belfast now on display in Belfast's Titanic Quarter. She was built to transfer passengers and mail to and from RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, and is the only White Star Line vessel in existence today.
Nomadic was one of two vessels commissioned by the White Star Line in 1910 to tender for their new ocean liners RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, which were too large to dock in Cherbourg harbour. She and her running mate SS Traffic ferried passengers, their baggage, mail and ship's supplies to and from large ocean liners moored offshore.
The keel of Nomadic was laid down in the Harland and Wolff shipyards, Belfast in 1910 (yard number 422). She was built on slipway No. 1 alongside RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic, which were constructed on slipways 2 and 3 respectively. She was launched on 25 April 1911 and delivered to the White Star Line on the 27 May, following sea trials.
The ship is 230 feet (70 m) long overall and 37 feet (11 m) wide, with a gross registered tonnage of 1,273 tons. Propulsion was provided by two single-ended coal-fired boilers and two compound steam engines, each driving two triple bladed propellers of 7 feet (2.1 m) in diameter, which gave a service speed of 12 knots (14 mph; 22 km/h).
Nomadic is of steel construction, with steel frames, beams, bulkheads and riveted hull plating. She had four working decks with various hold spaces beneath. She could carry up to 1,000 passengers when fully loaded.
Passenger accommodation consisted of lower and upper deck passenger lounges and open deck areas on the bridge and flying bridge decks. The vessel was divided into first and second class passenger areas, with first class passengers enjoying the fore areas of the ship. A small area in the aft end of the lower deck was assigned for overspill of third-class passengers from SS Traffic.
Internally, Nomadic was fitted out to a similar standard as the liners Olympic and Titanic, which she was built to serve. As such, she had more luxuries than most tenders of her day, with cushioned benches, tables, porcelain water fountains, gender-specific bathrooms and a buffet bar. She contained ornate decorative joinery and plasterwork, particularly in the first class lounges of the ship.
SS NOMADIC: The One and Only (1911)
Here she is -- the one and only White Star vessel left in the world. It is common knowledge that OLYMPIC and TITANIC were built on slipways 2 and 3 at Harland and Wolff shipyards. Ever wondered about slip number 1? That was NOMADIC! She was launched on April 25, 1911 and delivered to the White Star Line on Saturday, May 27. OLYMPIC would be delivered two days later. They would sail out of Belfast together on May 31. The NOMADIC, and her running mate TRAFFIC, would serve the OLYMPIC CLASS in Cherbourg by ferrying passengers and cargo since the liners' size kept them from docking in the port. The building of such a fine vessel is a testament to White Star's commitment to passenger comfort. You could say the tender was a little luxury liner in her own right! Against all odds Nomadic has managed to survive an entire century of service and a substantial dose of neglect. Today she is back home in Belfast and gleaming like new. She sits with her lone buff funnel rising above her -- announcing to all that she is a White Star ship.

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912 after the ship struck an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, more than 1,500 died, making it one of modern history's deadliest peacetime commercial marine disasters. RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat at the time she entered service and was the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners operated by the White Star Line. She was built by the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast. Thomas Andrews, chief naval architect of the shipyard at the time, died in the disaster.
