There is only one place in the world you can step aboard a ship and see exactly what first-class passengers of the Titanic would have seen… welcome to the only remaining ship still in existence connected to the Titanic… this is the SS Nomadic. 

Many aren’t aware that a large majority, 142 in fact, of first-class passengers boarded the Titanic in Cherbourg, France, via the SS Nomadic, a White Star Line ship that has survived the century and is now permanently back where she was built, in Belfast. The very same place where the Titanic was also built before embarking on her doomed first voyage. 

The ship has been meticulously restored to exactly what it would have looked like upon its creation in 1911, meaning these colors, this floor, the beautiful wooden siding, are the very same that people like John Jacob Astor and the “Unsinkable” Molly Brown would have seen before boarding the “ship of dreams.” 

As a lifelong Titanic nerd, Belfast has always been number one on places I needed to visit, but I didn’t think about how much stepping aboard the SS Nomadic would affect me. Knowing that on this day, April 10th of 1912, over 100 excited passengers would have gathered here, excited to experience the ship the world was enamored by, only to end up having to bear witness to one of the most traumatic and horrific ship disasters in history.
