SS Nomadic opened to the public on 1 June 2013. The boat, which once ferried first and second class passengers to Titanic from Cherbourg, was designed by Titanic's designer Thomas Andrews, and built at the Harland & Wolff Shipyard beneath the giant profiles of RMS Titanic and Olympic.
She sailed out of Belfast Lough on the same day as Olympic to begin her working career. On 10 April 1912, Nomadic took 142 passengers from Cherbourg Port to join Titanic on her maiden voyage. On board, passengers included Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon and his celebrated fashion designer wife, Lucille, American socialite Molly Brown and wealthy industrialist Benjamin Guggenheim.
Nomadic would go on to serve Olympic and other ships during her long and successful career. She carried famous passengers including Charlie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and Nobel Prize winner Marie Curie.
The Nomadic and Hamilton Dock offers a unique heritage venue, the perfect setting for a range of private and corporate events.
