The SS Nomadic is known as Titanic’s little sister. She was built at the same time as the Titanic, being complete by 1911, for the same people: the White Star Line, in the same Harland and Wolff shipyard, as the Titanic.
Nomadic was used as a Tender and transferred those boarding the great liner at Cherbourg (France) to the ship, as Titanic was too big to dock there.
Above is a slide-show of Nomadic in her permanent home in Belfast, fully restored after a long lay-up in Paris.
My review of the Titanic Hotel, nearby, is worth a read. It used to be the ‘Harland and Wolf’ drawing office. See HERE
