Much has been asked about White Star's ship Nomadic.
The ship was built at Harland and Wollf the year before Titanic,and she was used as a tender to take passengers to and from the Olympic and Titanic at Cherbourge,This ship ferried the first passengers to Olympic,and in April 1912 she did the same for the Titanic.
Nomadic saw service in both world wars,and was later to be used as a floating resturant on the Seine in Paris.More recently she has been left derelict in Le Harve France a tragic end to this ship.Campainers are trying to bring her back to Belfast but funds are sadly not forthcomming.Belfast Industial Heritage have been making inroads into this venture so that she can be restored to her former glory and added to the tourist quarter dedicated to the worlds most famous ship.amongst other attractions planned are the slipway where Titanic was built,The drawing offices where the blueprints where drawn up and the Thompson dock and pumphouse where she was fitted out.
An Estimated cost of purchasing Nomadic is somewhere in the region of £750,000 and the actual restoration costs could run into millions. There are Titanic exhibitions all over the world,but what better place to achieve all the above than in Belfast where it all begain.
The Nomadic is the last link with the Titanic we should not let her be scrapped.Once restored and back in her home port she could be one of the greatest attractions of the world.Nomadic is the last link with the ill fated Titanic and we should not let her dissapear into the mists of time.Lets have your views on this subject.
