The Titanic’s Belfast Heritage

This photo captures the fabled and ill-fated RMS Titanic before it began its maiden voyage to New York. Around April 1912, it was stationed close to the dock in Belfast, Northern Ireland. And it may come as a surprise, but this was the city where it was constructed, with every detail of its creation managed from the port area of this Irish metropolis.

A century after the incident, an interactive museum focused on the heritage and chronicles of the ship, inducing its discovery in the ’80s, was inaugurated. Its location is what is now called the Titanic Quarter at Belfast Docks.
