The story of Titanic
The Titanic was a British passenger liner that famously sank in the North Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912, during its maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City, USA. The Titanic was built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and was one of three ships in the Olympic class.
The construction of the Titanic began in 1909, and the ship was completed in 1912. It was one of the largest and most luxurious ships of its time, with state-of-the-art technology and amenities, including a swimming pool, a gymnasium, and a squash court. The ship was also designed to be unsinkable.
The Titanic's connection to Belfast is significant, as the city was a major hub of shipbuilding in the early 20th century. Harland and Wolff were the city's largest employers, and the shipyard where the Titanic was built was one of the largest and most modern of its kind in the world.
On April 10, 1912, the Titanic set sail from Southampton with over 2,200 passengers and crew on board. Four days later the ship struck an iceberg and began to take on water. Despite efforts to save the ship, the Titanic sank in the early hours of April 15, and over 1,500 people lost their lives.
The sinking of the Titanic had a significant impact on Belfast and the world. The loss of life was devastating, and the tragedy highlighted the need for improved safety measures on passenger ships. The disaster also had economic repercussions for Belfast, as the city's shipbuilding industry struggled in the aftermath of the sinking.
Despite these tragic events, the Titanic remains an enduring symbol of human ambition and innovation. Its story has been the subject of numerous books, movies, and documentaries, and its legacy continues to captivate and inspire people around the world.

The Titanic Museum
Titanic Belfast is the world’s largest Titanic experience: charting the history of the famous ill-fated ship from conception and construction right the way through to her watery grave.
The Titanic Museum is located in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The museum is dedicated to the memory of the Titanic and its passengers, and to the city of Belfast, where the ship was built.
The façade is clad in three thousand different shaped silver anodized aluminium sheets folded into complicated asymmetrical geometries, creating an awe-inspiring visual appearance, enhanced by reflective pools of water surrounding the base. The facades lean out at angles of up to 72 degrees.
THE TITANIC EXPERIENCE DOES CONTAIN A LOT OF ORIGINAL ARTEFACTS SOME OF WHICH ARE DETAILED BELOW, ALONG WITH OTHER FASCINATING ITEMS OF CULTURAL AND HISTORICAL INTEREST.
LAST LUNCH MENU
The last lunch menu that First Class passengers enjoyed on the day the ship struck an iceberg is currently on display in The Maiden Voyage.
The rare artefact, believed to have been bought for $122,000 (€94,300), has been generously loaned to Titanic Belfast by Rupert Hunt, owner of Spareroom.com who bought it from the Dodge family, who had it in their possession since the ship went down.
TITANIC DECK CHAIR
An original deck chair from Titanic, recovered from the surface by the Mackay-Bennett, the first of four ships chartered by the White Star Line to search for bodies after the sinking. Bearing the distinctive insignia of the White Star Line on the headrest, and a brass nametag holder on the rear, this deck chair is one of only six known to have survived.
LAUNCH DAY TICKETS
RMS Titanic VIP Launch Ticket
An extremely rare VIP ticket for the launch of RMS Titanic which still has its perforated stub is on display in the Launch gallery in the Titanic Experience. The recipient of this ticket no. 1342, Captain Alexander Matier, was unable to attend the launch. According to Henry Aldridge & Sons it is said to be one of the most desirable launch tickets and is believed to be the only one of this calibre known.
