Titanic and Olympic were far to big for Cherbourg's dock, so the White Star Line ordered 2 tenders to be built, the Nomadic and Traffic.

Both the Nomadic and Traffic took passengers out to the Titanic for Titanic's maiden voyage..and took passengers out to ships for many years after..as well as being used for war services during the world wars.

Sadly Traffic sank during world war 2 but Nomadic is still here today.

In about 1967 after Nomadic had retired she was bought and converted into a floating restaurant, in paris.

Unfortunately by 2003 she was derelict and in a bad state.

Last year all of her non original upper decks were removed so that she could be taken out of Paris, France.

She has since then been towed to La harve, France.

She is being sold at auction soon.

The point of this post is:

The Nomadic is the very last former White Star ship left that is not a wreck at the bottom of an ocean.

A Belfast, UK heritage group will be trying to buy her and return her to Belfast, were she was built in 1911 and restore her.

However if the Belfast group do not win the bid she could even be sold for scrap!

My company are going to be trying to raise as much money as we can to help restore her....and if she is sold for scrap we will be doing all we can to help save her.

Do you have any ideas on how we can help raise some money?
If she is sold for scrap have you got any ideas how we can help stop it?
