Discover the history of this legendary ship in an iconic, six-storey exhibit filled with stunning artefacts and real life tales.

The Titanic Experience

Transport yourself back to the shipyard where the Titanic was built on the dark, atmospheric Shipyard Ride. Continue on to the Launch and experience the crowds and joyous atmosphere of 31 May 1911, when the Titanic was launched at 12.13pm. And finally, witness the fateful event on the night of the 14 April 1912 when the ship met its untimely end upon colliding with an iceberg.

Visit the Fit-Out which showcases the ship’s elegant interior through artefacts, exhibits, models and digital imagery. Find out more about the myths, legends and truths from the results of the British and American inquiries into the Titanic disaster and explore the many stories, books, films and legends of the famous incident that remain to this day.

Artefacts

Discover what life was like aboard the Titanic and read about events leading up to the construction of the legendary ship through the hugely impressive selection of original items on display.

See an original and rare Titanic promotional brochure alongside the last lunch menu that first-class passengers enjoyed on the day the Titanic went down. Believed to have been bought for $122,000, this item has been generously donated to the exhibition and offers a real taste of what first-class life was like on the ship.

Currently on display at Titanic Belfast is also the ‘Holy Grail’ of Titanic memorabilia and the most expensive Titanic artefact ever sold at auction: a 33-foot (over 10 metres!) wide Indian ink and colour washed plan, which was used at the Wreck Commissioner’s Court of Inquiry and offers a true insight into the conditions experienced by passengers.

A tale of love

To mark the 20th anniversary of the launch of TITANIC, the movie, Beverley Roberts, a descendent from one of the real love stories on board, travelled to Titanic Belfast to join the celebrations.The story of Titanic has captured hearts and minds worldwide, arguably none more so than the love story between Kate and Leo's Jack and Rose. Despite being based on fictional characters, the 1997 classic is still listed as one of the best love stories of all time. Beverley's great-grandparents, Kate Florence Philips and Henrey Morley, had a true love affair and was potentially the inspiration behind the 'Heart of the Ocean Story Line'.
