Or that Titanic was actually one of three ships planned, the others being the Olympic and Brittanic. For starters, you can tell people that the ‘RMS’ stands for Royal Mail Steamer as Titanic was appointed to carry mail on its voyage. So here’s a few to keep in your back pocket.
You might miss a few little nuggets on your RMS Titanic experience. It’s an experience you will never ever forget. The story of Titanic - from her conception, construction and launch to fateful maiden voyage – will touch you. You will also meet the people who made her and the city that made them. As you explore its six floors of interactive galleries, you will experience the sights, sounds, smells and stories of life aboard the doomed RMS Titanic. Of course, the centrepiece for you is the iconic Titanic Belfast visitor attraction. As a Quarter, it’s not half full! Sail back in time And that’s just the tip of the iceberg (forgive the pun!), there’s lots of other hidden gems we’ll tell you about later. A highlight during springtime is the Belfast Titanic Maritime Festival, which brings a huge buzz and lots of family friendly activities over the May bank holiday weekend. You could take a short walk to the interactive science & discovery centre W5, perfect for families, rock up to the Odyssey Pavilion for a gig or to see local ice hockey team the Belfast Giants in action. A stroll along the famous Harland & Wolff slipways or a ride on The Wee Tram for a novelty tour of the area. You have Titanic’s little sister SS Nomadic or the maritime gem HMS Caroline to clamber aboard. In fact, you could spend a few days in and around Belfast’s Titanic Quarter exploring, as there’s so much for grown-ups and kids to do. But if you were to, it would have to be a visit the birthplace of the most legendary ship in the world: RMS Titanic. The chances of you doing just one thing in Belfast are pretty slim. Titanic - unique, unmissable and unforgettable
