| irishemigrant.com | BELFAST TRIP A TITANIC-SIZED EYE-OPENER - THE NEW YORK IRISH EMGIRANT I’m standing in the middle of an ever-growing crowd of people, a sense of great excitement heightening all around me. All of a sudden we are thrown back in time, to May 31, 1911. I can actually feel what it must have been like for the folks whose lives played out here at this famous shipyard - Harland and Wolff, birthplace of the Titanic and, at the time, the largest shipbuilding company in the world. ... A certain sense of expectation continues as Belfast readies itself for its bow on the world stage come April 15, 2012, when it will commemorate the hundredth anniversary of that unforgettable human tragedy: the sinking of the Titanic on her maiden voyage to New York. Never ready to forget the lives lost, the lives of those who built Titanic, and how it all played out in history, Belfast is hard at work readying itself for the event.... |

| Belfast Telegraph | NOMADIC'S PROMISE MUST BE FULFILLED Any doubts about the degree of interest in and level of affection for the SS Nomadic should have been dispelled by the large turn-out of spectators who went to the Odyssey last week to see the return of the famous ship for themselves.Despite being bereft of her superstructure, Nomadic is still an impressive sight. Built in Harland & Wolff at the same time as Titanic to serve as a tender to ferry first class passengers to the great liner, she at last provides Belfast with a tangible link with its most celebrated export.Salvaging the vessel from the scrapyard has been a major achievement, but greater challenges lie ahead. If Nomadic is to be transformed from a rusting hulk into an international tourist attraction, she will need to be completely renovated.While the Department for Social Development has acquired the vessel, and Belfast City Council has pledged £100,000 to the restoration fund, a determined effort will be required to raise funds to turn the vision into reality.... |
