How about a visit to the Belfast docks, where the Titanic was built? Located not far from the Titanic Belfast Experience, Titanic’s Dock and Pump-House is nothing less than a dock equipped with a dry dock, where the White Star Line’s most imposing liner was once built. This emblematic site can be visited in its entirety to learn more about the construction of the Titanic!
For fans of the terrible sinking of the Titanic, this Belfast dock is the surest way to retrace the footsteps of the old liner! Here you’ll discover the places where thousands of men gathered their know-how to build a liner of disproportionate size and luxury!
Take a stroll along the dry dock, visit the pumping station that dried out the dock, and discover the important infrastructure that enabled the ship’s construction.
The tour is extremely well documented, and focuses on the engineering methods used to build the Titanic.
You’ll also learn about the broader history of the liner, from the creation of its plans by the White Star Line to its sinking, and get a fascinating explanation of the causes of the tragedy.
In fact, the metal used for the construction would not have been sufficiently suitable for cold-water navigation: the thermal shock, coupled with the collision with the iceberg, and the fact that the watertight bulkheads did not go all the way to the top, would have sealed the Titanic’s terrible fate.
Titanic’s Dock and Pump-House is a true return to basics, giving you a better understanding of the liner’s history!
