Titanic Foundation Takes Ownership Of SS Nomadic
Titanic Foundation has taken on ownership of the SS Nomadic, the last remaining White Star Line ship in the world.
SS Nomadic will be operated by Titanic Belfast Limited, Titanic Belfast's commercial operator, who will align their 5 star visitor attraction experience to Titanic's little sister.
The SS Nomadic is also the biggest Titanic artefact and an authentic piece of Belfast’s maritime heritage. In 2005 Nomadic was languishing in Le Havre when local enthusiasts became aware of its plight, and began a campaign to 'Save the Nomadic’'from scrappage. The Department for Social Development stepped in and bought Nomadic in 2006, bringing it home later that year. The Nomadic Charitable Trust was set up to oversee its restoration and conservation, and the ship opened to the public in 2013.
Denis Rooney CBE, Chairman of the Board commented: "Nomadic Charitable Trust has worked hard to bring SS Nomadic to this point but we feel it is time to integrate SS Nomadic into the wider Titanic Quarter offer. We have been working with Titanic Foundation Limited over several months to ensure a seamless transition and we are delighted that the transfer is now complete and look forward to seeing SS Nomadic flourish."
