Our Review Below Bio: Titanic Belfast 1 Olympic Way Queens Road Titanic Quarter Belfast BT3 9EP +44 (0)28 9076 6386 http://titanicbelfast.com/ Titanic Belfast's exhibition was designed by London based exhibition designers Event Communications and consists of nine interpretative and interactive galleries, covering the following themes: Boomtown Belfast – the city at the start of the 20th century The first gallery recreates scenes from Belfast at the time of Titanic's construction in 1909–11. It illustrates the city's major industries before leading through an original set of gates from the Harland and Wolff shipyard into an interactive floor presenting Titanic's construction plans, along with original drawings and scale models of the ship. The Shipyard – a ride aboard a mini-car up and around a replica of Titanic's rudder The second gallery is dominated by a steel scaffold standing 20 metres (66 ft), which alludes to the Arrol Gantry built to aid the construction of Titanic and Olympic. A lift carries visitors to the top of the gantry, where scenes of shipbuilding are displayed through audio and images. The visit continues on a six-seater car which takes the visitor on a ride through a recreation of a shipyard which moves through a scale replica of Titanic's enormous rudder. The Launch – how Titanic was launched on 31 May 1911 The Launch gallery portrays scenes from the Spring day when Titanic was launched into Belfast Lough, watched by 100,000 people. It overlooks the slipway from which Titanic was launched and a window enables visitors to see the slipways and docks as they appear now. The Fit-Out – the fitting-out of Titanic from her launch through to April 1912 The fourth gallery presents a large-scale model of Titanic to illustrate how the ship appeared to its passengers and crew, depicting all three classes of cabins. A central feature in the gallery presents a 360-degree computer-generated tour around Titanic through all the levels of the vessel, from the engine room to the dining saloons and the bridge. The Maiden Voyage – the journey from Belfast to Southampton, and from there to Cherbourg, Queenstown (Cobh) and westwards The ship's disastrous maiden voyage is depicted in the fifth gallery, which depicts the ship's boat deck. Visitors can walk across the wooden deck, sit on benches or look out at a view across the docks and harbour. The gallery also presents photographs of the ship by the Jesuit photographer Father Francis Browne, who was aboard Titanic for the leg from Southampton to Queenstown (now Cobh) in southern Ireland. The Sinking – the disaster of 14/15 April 1912 The sixth gallery portrays the sinking of the Titanic with the background sound of Morse code SOS messages being sent to other ships. Images of the sinking are combined with audio of survivors telling their stories and illustrations of the confused press reporting of the disaster. The iceberg is evoked by a wall of 400 replica life-jackets, on which an image of the sinking ship is projected. The Aftermath – the legacy of the disaster The aftermath of the sinking is documented in the seventh gallery, which is dominated by a full-size replica of one of the lifeboats used to evacuate passengers from the ship. The American and British inquiries into the disaster are portrayed on either side of the lifeboat through videos and information panels. Visitors can use interactive screens to search the passenger and crew lists to find out if one of their relatives was aboard the ship. The gallery also presents information on the subsequent histories of Harland and Wolff and Titanic's sister ships. Myths & Legends – the facts behind some of the stories about the Titanic The disaster gave rise to numerous legends and myths, perpetuated through films, plays, books and poems. With Celine Dion's song My Heart Will Go On playing in the background, visitors are able to explore aspects of the popular culture inspired by Titanic. Interactive screens also enable the visitor to explore myths about the ship. Titanic Beneath – about the wreck of the Titanic and its rediscovery The last gallery presents Titanic as she is now, 12,000 feet (3,700 m) below the surface of the North Atlantic. Presented in conjunction with the discoverer of the wreck of Titanic, Dr Robert Ballard, the gallery illustrates his expeditions to the ship through footage, audio and images. A fish-eye view of the wreck is set under the glass floor. Below the floor is the Ocean Exploration Centre, Titanic Belfast's principal educational facility, which shows marine biology and exploration in Northern Ireland's coastal waters as well as Ballard's various expeditions around the world

Our Review: Alright visitors to Belfast Ireland, there is a reason this attraction is one of Ireland's Leading attractions and cannot be missed. It’s "Titanic Belfast and S.S Nomadic“. We were able to see first-hand why people love this attraction. We agree Titanic Belfast and S.S Nomadic is hands down the best attraction being offered in Belfast Ireland and maybe one of the best Titanic Attraction being offered worldwide. First, Titanic Belfast and S.S Nomadic is not your average excursion day trip. It's more of a full day affair and we would recommend you to see all they have to offer. First thing first prepare to step back in time and be transported back to the days of White Star Lines. Start off by visiting the S.S Nomadic. It's a very entertaining and educational journey as you stroll from deck to deck of this Titanic Tender boat. Then on to the Titanic Belfast where you will learn more about the Titanic than you ever knew. From its Beginning to her tragic end and Learning about the workers and the people Of Belfast. Then after all this spend some time in the great gift shops and eateries offered on grounds. We would also recommend going right outside on the corner to catch The Red Double decker City Sightseeing Bus for the very best Belfast city tour. In Ending, we have featured attractions all over the nation and international and these attractions were a treat and a pleasure to cover. We honestly hope that "Titanic Belfast and City Sightseeing” are entertaining guests for years and years to come.
