S.S. Nomadic Poster
The White Star Line tender 'Nomadic', the small ship designed by Thomas Andrews to ferry passengers out to the ill-fated ocean liner R.M.S. Titanic as well as her sisters during their stopovers at Cherbourg, France (along with her sister 'Traffic').
She would go on to have a long a varied career following the disaster, being used to transport passengers out to many famous liners of the day as well as being used in both world wars for various military and salvage duties.
She was taken out of service in 1968 and in the 70s converted into a floating restaurant permanently moored on the Seine in Paris. Following the restaurants closure in the late 1990s, she fell into disrepair and was seized by the harbour authorities in 2002, her future uncertain. Fortunately, she was sold and brought back to Belfast for restoration and today is on display in Titanic Quarter, the last surviving White Star vessel.
