Hi Jelle,
It seems as if nothing is happening with Nomadic, but behind the scenes, a lot is happening. The first thing that had to be done was to set up the Charitable Trust to oversee the restoration work and her future. This was done in October; see http://www.nics.gov.uk/press/sd/061011c-sd.htm Now this is done, the work can at last start. This last weekend(just before Hallowe'en) work started by removing all her interior fittings to strip her back to a shell.(See the link at my previous post). She is still in the same position as in your photos for this same reason. There are many people here in Northern Ireland who want to see her open as soon as possible, but I don't know if she will be open for viewing straight away, or if we will have to wait until she is fully restored. I will let you know as soon as I hear. The best site for info about her is http://www.nomadicpreservationsociety.co.uk/ which is run by the group behind the project. As far as where she will end up, it will be somewhere in the Harland & Wolff area, probably the Hamilton Dock(the small dock on the left just before the old H&W building), I doubt it it will end up at the Folk & Transport Museum at Cultra - too far away. As soon as I hear any news about her(ie, serious restoration work, movement, open for viewing), I will publish them on this site to share them with other members. If I can be of help to anyone who wishes to come to Belfast to visit Nomadic, Harland & Wolff & the rest of the city, please contact me at Thanks Strider_uk |
