SS Nomadic was one of two vessels the White Star Line commissioned in 1910 to transport passengers to the new ocean liners RMS Olympic and RMS Titanic. The vessels were too large to dock in Cherbourg Harbour, necessitating the SS Nomadic and a sister vessel, the SS Traffic. It has been fully restored to her original 1911 appearance. Best known for transferring first- and second-class passengers to the Titanic at Cherbourg, Nomadic went on to serve in multiple roles over its career. Now back in Belfast, where she was designed and built, the ship is preserved in Hamilton Dock as a major visitor attraction. Spread across four decks, the experience offers an authentic sense of what it was like to board the Titanic, highlighting original design details and the clear distinctions between class areas.
