Titanic Distillers at Thompson Dock offers visitors a look inside Belfast’s revived whiskey industry, marking the city’s first working distillery in almost 90 years. The experience combines a tour of the distillery with the story of Belfast’s whiskey tradition, its rise, decline and recent return. Located on the Maritime Mile, the historic Thompson Dock and Pumphouse once stood beneath the hull of the RMS Titanic, serving as a focal point of shipyard activity. Today, visitors can walk through the original spaces where shipbuilders worked and explore the renewed spirit of the docklands. Just five minutes from the Titanic Hotel, the site highlights the people and stories that have inspired Titanic Distillers.
The Titanic Memorial Garden at Belfast City Hall honors the 1,512 people who died when the Belfast-built RMS Titanic sank in April 1912. Located on the building’s east side, the garden features a two-level design centered on a nine-meter granite plinth inscribed with the names of every victim. The 15 bronze plaques mounted on the plinth form The Belfast List, the first complete record to include all passengers and crew, including the Guarantee Group, postal workers and musicians, whose names were often missing from earlier lists. Planting throughout the garden was chosen to reflect the colours of water and ice, with a palette of whites, silvers, blues and greens intended to create a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Two Himalayan birch trees frame the memorial.
