About Titanic Belfast

Ever since the luxury ocean liner Titanic struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, it has captured the public imagination as few other naval disasters have. This interest was bolstered by the 1997 romantic film of the same name, which saw a resurgence of interest in the disaster. Finally, Titanic Belfast was opened in 2012, on the one hundredth anniversary of the ship’s maiden voyage. This impressive facility tells the story of the building and sinking of the Titanic, along with the broader history of Belfast’s shipbuilding industry.

Titanic Belfast is located on the shipyards where the Titanic and its sister ship the Olympic were built. Following the decline of Belfast’s shipbuilding industry, the shipyards lay empty for decades. However, starting in 2001, the government began efforts to regenerate the area, culminating in the building of Titanic Belfast. Now, this attraction is the centerpiece of Belfast’s Titanic Quarter, a whole neighborhood devoted to the ship and the shipbuilding industry. In 2016, Titanic Belfast won the title of World’s Leading Tourist Attraction at the World Travel Awards.
