zed at Titanic Quarter Belfast yesterday first day this year with targas of the SS Nomadic it ferred pasengers to the Titanic
Like i said before Gary - looks stunning mate! A fantastic back drop for piccies IMO. :bow2: :bow2: :bow2:
Sorry, not trying to be a smartarse but I think you'll find that this is HMS Caroline, a light cruiser built in 1914 and which fought in the Battle of Jutland in 1916. SS Nomadic does still exist, when last I heard of her she was in Paris, but she looks a little like a very large ferry rather than a 3-funneled warship as she was a luxurious tender which carried passengers out to the ocean liners (inc Titanic) at harbours where they were too large to be moored at a dock. Great photos of your car and the Harland & Wolff precinct! Thanks for posting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Nomadic_(1911) SS Nomadic is in Belfast docks but you are right I think I must of taken a pick of the wrong ship as it was in Titanic Quater I took it for the SS Nomadic but I was wrong the Nomadic is much smaller sorry for the confusion and thanks for putting me right
I love historic ships, and it's great to hear the SS Nomadic is back in Belfast. I must visit Belfast when next in Europe. I looked up the website for the Titanic Quarter and it looks really interesting.
The Titanic Quater is just starting to take shape and is a great area to vist.The pick is of the dry dock were Titanic and lots of other ships were built and the building to the right is the old pump house
