The Unsinkable

This is a building, the outside of the Titanic Museum in Belfast. Travel introduces experiences you never expect. The Titanic's is known as a British Ocean liner and her maiden voyage was from Southampton, England, to New York City on April 10, 1912. She sank on April 14–15, 1912, killing about 1,500 passengers and ship personnel.

Behind the scenes, the Titanic was built in Northern Ireland, part of the British empire, by Harland & Wolff at its shipyards in Belfast. The shipyards still operate today. Titanic was bult for the White Star Line and is one of three sister ships; the Olympic (1911), Titanic (1912) and Britannic (1915). Due to the Great Depression the Olympic was scrapped from 1935 to 1937. The Britannic hit a German naval mine near the Greek island of Kea and sank 55 minutes later on November 21, 1916. Having on 30 casualties, the Britannic was the largest ship lost in the First World War.

The museum is all Titanic. As impressive as the building is, the museum inside it is a must see if you visit Northern Ireland. The building is 126 feet (38 meters) tall and matches the height of the Titanic's hull. The photo was taken in May of 2024 on a picture perfect day.
