Belfast and the Titanic
|
| A unique opportunity to experience the birthplace of Titanic! |
| Belfast is a passionate, vibrant city that doesn’t rest on its laurels. Once declared ‘the modern Athens’, Belfast boasts grand architecture including the delightful Custom House, the Grand Opera House and Ulster Hall along with the more contemporary Belfast Waterfront Hall and Odyssey Arena. Belfast has undergone one of Europe’s most dramatic transformations. Stylish restaurants, stunning visitor attractions and shopping centres are delighting visitors to this former
hamlet and lively port. Across the River Lagan at Queen’s Island the RMS Titanic was launched in 1912 on its fateful voyage. The highlight of this historic tour is our boat trip around shadowy Belfast Harbour. Although she bore the port of Liverpool on her stern, Titanic was, in fact, constructed in bustling Belfast. April 1912 saw the world gaze in awe as this legendary liner embarked on her doomed maiden voyage. Now, a century later, enjoy a close up view of the celebrated Harland & Wolff Shipyard from the comfort of a vessel from the Lagan Boat
Company. |
