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....	24th July 2006
